2025 Inner Hebrides Sea Kayak Trip – Part 2 Loch Awe This year’s trip was to the Inner Hebrides, with backup plans to base ourselves at Leachive Caravan Park – Tayvallich in poor weather. The first week was fantastic, and we circumnavigated Islay and Jura, but we had caught an earlier ferry back to the mainland with the approach of Ex-Hurricane Erin. We had discussed numerous options for the following… Read More »2025 Loch Awe Sea Kayak Trip Day 1

2025 Islay and Jura Sea Kayak Trip Day 9 Tarbet and Lochgilphead So we woke early after a sheltered night from the remains of Storm Erin. The Crinnan Canal campsite next to lock 10 was our favourite overnight stop. (There is a campervan overnight parking area there, but a nice area for tents next to the lock gate). Ex-Hurricane Erin’s remnants were predicted to bring rain and wind to the… Read More »2025 Islay and Jura Sea Kayak Trip Day 9 Tarbet and Lochgilphead
Great Orme Sept 2025 by Mike Alter Aside from one day of the most recent club trip to Anglesey, I haven’t been in a kayak/sea kayak for several years. As such, Keith’s recent advert for a great weather trip really appealed. Great weather means flat calm, doesn’t it? The plan was to meet at Llandudno RNLI station, where there is ample free parking and an easy launch. The ample free… Read More »Great Orme Sept 2025
Day 08 Sunday 24th Jura Hotel to Port Askaig and back to Lochgilphead by Ian Bell The timing of the tide made for a sensible start on water at 10 to catch the last of the ebb tide south to the end of the island. This we did with good assistance from the tide. We then spent some time considering landing on one of the outlying islands for eleven-is. After… Read More »2025 Islay and Jura Sea Kayak Trip Day 8 Jura Hotel to Port Askaig
Day 07 Saturday 23rd Kinuachdrachd Harbour to the Jura Hotel by Dave Brown Finding a place to put up my tent was fun, as I was competing with people who were changing their real estate very fast. However, we all settled down to a quick night’s sleep as we had to be up & on the water by 7 am, so that meant for me a 5.00 am get up,… Read More »2025 Islay and Jura Sea Kayak Trip Day 7 Kinuachdrachd Harbour to the Jura Hotel
