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.

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.
