May 2023 - starting to feel like summer! James and I had the great pleasure of joining our good friend, Nick Ray, on part of his Scotland 365 journey where he's paddling and camping in Scotland for a whole year!

During our brief 48 hours with Nick we took a completely different pace to normal, really taking time to explore each fold of the intricate coastline, and enjoy being on the water amongst nature. Please note, we did not approach any wildlife, and gave seals, birds etc lots of space when paddling past - really important not to get too close so as to not disturb wildlife on the ocean.

We also found piles of litter on the remote beach we camped on, and fishing gear from Creel boats and fish farms all over the coastline. We were unable to clear all of it up, but did what we could.
