Part two of my first trip to the small isles.
The small Isles, on the Scottish Highlands west coast are a classic UK sea kayaking destination.
Consisting of five Islands, Canna, Sanday, Rum, Eigg & Muck all of which have exposed rugged coast line, beautiful camping spots with amazing views.
These island are fully exposed to weather systems and have strong tides around the points and between the islands, so careful planning and settled weather are required for a successful trip
This video, along with part one, is the story of my first trip out there in 2023 when we paddled round Rum, Sanday & Canna and also visited Eigg
0:00 Intro
0:49 Day four paddle & camp Rum
10:57 Day five paddle & camp, Rum to Eigg
16:58 Day six paddle Eigg to Rum and return on ferry

4:51 - That water looks beautifully smooth! Almost glasslike.

@getwet501 4 месяца назад

Yes indeed, we had big high pressure weather with almost zero winds some days, not typical Scottish weather 😆

As you know I’ve been looking forward to seeing Part 2 and it surely didn’t disappoint - another video wit award winning potential 👏 You did something very clever with perspective this time. By allowing the kayaks to paddle far apart you painted the picture of a huge and magnificent landscape in all its splendour with two tiny paddlers becoming fully absorbed the ‘serenity’ - well done!

@getwet501 7 месяцев назад

Many thanks. Indeed the kayaks far apart in the calm sea worked well and made a good picture but it was just as it happened, you give too much credit🤣

@normanedwards2595 7 месяцев назад

Appreciate all of that but I wanted that the outcome gets the recognition it deserves 👍

Wow what fantastic weather and such an amazingly calm sea. Never seen the sea in Scotland so mill pond flat. Stunning views and camp spots despite the Scottish Airborne Terrors. Looking forward to the next couple of Islands Eigg and Muck.

@getwet501 7 месяцев назад

@gadgetman_nz4092 7 месяцев назад

@getwet501 6 месяцев назад

how u doig?. bravo- top trip.

@robertevans7801 7 месяцев назад

Hi, Im good thanks, thank you very much😃

@eberhardkoch1576 7 месяцев назад

By the way...what are the water temperatures is the conditions? 25 ° air can mean 15° water in the Bretagne what means drysuit necessary😅.

@getwet501 7 месяцев назад

Hi, I'm not exactly sure, but water temp would be 10-12 I would guess. The thing is, in the Scottish Highlands weather changes so fast, which means paddling conditions can go from balmy to baltic in the space of a few hours. A light weight drysuit with appropriate layer options has all covered and for me personally works well. Not all would agree, some just seem to hate the principal of wearing a dry suit in the summer, but choose dry trousers and a cag instead, which isn't really much different, but then you can take the cag off and on repeatedly, as many seem to do😁

@eberhardkoch1576 7 месяцев назад

Thank you very much for your answer, 10`😮! Drysuit😂!
