I'm a keen sea kayaker who loves to explore the rugged Scottish coastline and islands. I live with the spectre of clinical depression and keep myself as well as I can by living adventurously and by immersing myself in the natural world as much as possible. I hope my channel and playlists portray the life I have chosen and am fortunate enough to lead and in a big part, offer you the wisdom I have accrued through my sixty years.

Thank you very much for watching. Please leave comments, subscribe and like or dislike any of my short films.

Watching the first 20 min. of this while working our on our WaterRower, on a rainy day in the PNW, made exercising FUN! Seeing how you approach caves & cautiously deciding whether to enter or not is exciting when you do, & a relief when you don't LOL. I hope your journey lifts your soul.

Perfect start , well the sky wasn't perfect as its clear to see the Stratospheric Aerosal Injection s, cem trails geo engineering or whatever term you want . Better to use Stratospheric Aerosal Injection s as this what the government refer to them as in their reoports just incase there are still fools out there who will start the conspiracy theorists crap 🙄

Truly amazing seascape. I just love the colours of the water and the Rock. Most likely due to living in North Norfolk and our sea is brown and our cliffs are slowly in some places sliding into the sea. In other going a a far rate of knots. I would love to paddle these places too. Each time I see one of your videos it just make me wish my Mull holiday would come round that bit faster. Cracking video as always Nick.

There is nothing better than to sit down and enjoy one of your Coastal exporing videos. I am now wondering as you have been right around Scotland is there any Coastal bit that are a bit less scenic. As the NC500 has it dull bits on the East side so I am wondering if this is the same at any point with the Coast? Brillaint video as usaul Nick.

Fabulous 👌 So many paddle in straight lines, missing out on such detailed exploring but, while it's calm with only a little swell, how nice it is to poke your nose in and have a look around.
