Scarborough to Filey Brigg

Awoke this morning to a good forecast, the sun was out light wind sea state smooth/slight. So off to Scarborough and a paddle from south bay to Filey Brigg and back.

Arrived just before low tide so a bit of a carry down to the waters edge, but high tide on the return paddled to just a few metres from the car, so hardly any carry. check out some photos from today.

Weekend Trip to Skye

I've just arrived back from a few days up on Skye very wind blown and wet,  Finalising routes and options for my solo circumnavigation of Skye,
A huge thank you  to Gordon and Morag for their invaluable advice on areas to go and not to go in certain conditions, and particular areas of interest to explore.
Also for inviting me up to be a guinea pig on the 4* Assessment, and all that valuable on water coaching from the "Jedi Master" himself Gordon (Simon's quote).
It must of been a weekend of meetings this weekend, I also bumped into Simon Willis at Armadale, a thank you to Simon who's advised me on the blog and advertised the expediton on his blog site.
Keep up the training Simon ( Simon had just cycled from home to Mallaig caught the ferry to Armadale cycled to Gordons, I caught up with him on his return.

Keep watching the blog for more training reports then live on the water reports from the expedtion six weeks to go.
