2022 Scottish Sea Kayaking Trip Day 04 Wednesday Arran – Drumadoon Point (Golf Course) to Largybeg Point by Gary Edwards The initial instructions for Day Four involved an early 7 am on the water… gladfully, that was delayed an hour to allow the wind and rain to pass over. Although any extra sleep I was planning to get was rudely interrupted by the green keeper from the Shiskine Golf Club,… Read More »2022 Scottish Sea Kayaking Trip – Day 04 Wednesday Arran – Drumadoon Point (Golf Course) to Largybeg Point by Gary Edwards

2022 Scottish Sea Kayaking Trip Day 03 Tuesday Arran – Carradale to Drumadoon Point (Golf Course) by Frankie Annan Shopped and fed, the convoy set off to drive to Carradale to start the next part of the week and dodge the weather that was headed to Mull. This was the journey down the never-ending single-track road, or so it seemed. But eventually, we arrived at the car park by the… Read More »2022 Scottish Sea Kayaking Trip – Day 03 Tuesday Arran – Carradale to Drumadoon Point (Golf Course) by Frankie Annan

2022 Scottish Sea Kayaking Trip Day 03 Tuesday Loch Etive – Rubha Nan Cairn to Airds Bay by Frankie Annan Waking on the wonderful Alaska-style campsite, it was to be an early start on the water to get back to the cars. The first train passed at 6.27 am by which time, those of us who need more packing time, were up and getting sorted, and everyone else was still… Read More »2022 Scottish Sea Kayaking Trip – Day 03 Tuesday Loch Etive – Rubha Nan Cairn to Airds Bay by Frankie Annan

Day 02 Monday Loch Etive – The head of Loch Etive to Rubha Nan Cairn by Andy Garland We arose to only a light smattering of midges and made our usual preparations for departure. The previous night a wedding party had been holding a reception by the loch shore, a few hundred meters from our camp, so I checked and double-checked that no bottles of unused Champagne had been left… Read More »2022 Scottish Sea Kayaking Trip – Day 02 Monday Loch Etive – The head of Loch Etive to Rubha Nan Cairn by Andy Garland

2022 Scottish Sea Kayaking Trip to Arran and Mull The Celtic Sea Kayaking Trip This year’s trip was organised as two separate weeks but both starting from the same campsite at Oban Caravan & Camping Park. This would enable people to paddle for either one or both weeks and would allow for greater flexibility. Week 1 had some unsettled weather, so we opted to explore Loch Etive and then head… Read More »2022 Scottish Sea Kayaking Trip – Day 01 Sunday Loch Etive – Airds Bay (Taynuilt) to the head of Loch Etive by Ian Bell

Euxton Canoe Club – Save our club Euxton Canoe Club is based in Chorley, Lancashire – about 20 miles from Liverpool, as the crow flies.

As a result of this, there is a real danger that the… Read More »Euxton Canoe Club – Save our club

Day 10 Monday: Wakeboarding by Noah Gavin This year we were looking to do some activities as a family, and came across l’ancre bleue, a watersports place with wakeboarding, rafting, canoeing and stand-up paddle boarding. Me, my dad and sister went wakeboarding twice during the trip and were completely stunned by the surrounding views the whole time. Although the water in the lake was low, the staff there did their… Read More »2022 LCC Alpine Holiday to Durance Region in France: Day 10 Monday: Wakeboarding by Noah Gavin

Moelfre to Bull Bay on the North Coast of Anglesey In my quest to circumnavigate Anglesey in what appears to be multiple day trips in every direction possible, whilst nothing is simultaneously linked…I identified that although I had been from Bull Bay and Point Lynas south, I had never managed to link it up with Moelfre…well today was the day. I found a fellow willing participant in Fiona G and… Read More »Moelfre to Bull Bay on the North Coast of Anglesey

Rhosneigr to Ynys Llanddwyn Saturday 13/8 by Neil Mack We met for our pre-paddle briefing at the Paddlers Bar on a Friday evening. Once we sorted our priorities of where to sit, who’s round it was and what to eat (pop-up Pizza kitchen. Very good by all accounts), we then got round to thinking about the next day’s paddle. No one fancied Penrhyn Mawr or the Stacks on a spring,… Read More »Rhosneigr to Ynys Llanddwyn Saturday 13/8 by Neil Mack

Anglesey Weekend Day 3 Sunday by Martin Page Eight sea kayaks, plus Brian on a SUP set off from Rhosneigr for an easy Sunday paddle across Cymyran Bay, on sea like a sheet of glass. We passed Borthwen quickly to avoid boats and jet skis, continued to Rhoscoyln Head and the Beacon. As the tide was still running, we went out to the Beacon for some fun, rock hopping around… Read More »Anglesey Weekend Day 3 Sunday by Martin Page
