The Paddling:
The beauty of this trip is the ability to go with the flow, catering the locations and style of paddling to the group’s appetite and the weather conditions day to day. There is no solid ‘paddling plan’, but we can guarantee that each day will be an adventure and you will get to see a side of Scotland that very few people ever get to see. We will explore the West Coast of Scotland on a new Loch each day, with the potential to also paddle some rivers and on the sea!
This trip is also a fantastic opportunity to learn new skills for paddling on open water in challenging conditions. As well as being your guides, we aim to help you develop as paddlers – we will look at how to better control our boards in the wind and deal with chop, ready for more coastal adventures. Maybe you're preparing yourself for a SUP expedition or working towards a Paddle UK SUP leadership award, what better way to get varied experience in different conditions/environments than a week of paddling around Scotland with us?
What’s unique about this trip is that there is much more than just paddle boarding. With our experience and local knowledge collected from the past 10 plus years, you’ll get opportunities on and off the water to see an array of incredible wildlife such as seals and highland coos as well as historic sights and breathtaking views.
Throughout the trip we will have a private cottage to return to each night allowing us to warm up, dry kit, cook good food and have a warm, comfy nights sleep.
Why October?
The autumnal colours are breathtaking in Scotland and in these rural locations definitely make the trip more special! This time of year is generally quieter, there are fewer midges and whilst the weather conditions can go either way, the style of trip means that we're prepared for all eventualities. Additionally, if you're an avid Harry Potter fan, a lot of our potential paddling spots are filming locations.
Who are we aiming this trip at?
This trip is for people with paddle boarding experience, looking to explore Scotland. We will be paddling 10-15km a day, with the potential of paddling in up to force 4 winds and going on the sea.
