Kearvaig Bay, May 2017
Kearvaig Bay (old Norse pronounced Ker-vik) is situated in the very North West tip of Scotland at the North Atlantic Ocean a few miles away from the Cape Wrath lighthouse, is extremely popular with hikers and boasts a stunning, isolated beach many would find hard to imagine could be in Scotland but there are lots of very beautiful places all over Scotland. Most of which you'll find yourself just driving through as you travel, some however are a little more hidden away.
The bay boasts what is quite possibly considered one of the best Bothys in the UK. Well maintained, dry, draught free and very surprisingly warm.
Bothies aren't for your average camper though. There is no electricity, no toilets, heating is done via open fires (if you can salvage wood) and your water supply is the nearby river (don't worry about the brown colour, that's just peat).
There are Toilet spades though if you really need to go ;).
This really is one of my favourite places to go. There is no traffic, no street lights and no crowds of people. You can't drive here though. Access is either via the small ferry at Keoldale Pier and a Minibus that was taken over on a raft, or via walking quite a fair distance over rough terrain.
I'm not affiliated however, check out visitcapewrath.com

Canoeing Trip along Glenelg River
Join the adventure in Lower Glenelg Nation Park as we, Melbourne Young Hikers tried the new expedition on the river.
We started at Pritchards campsite in south-west Victoria and finished at Dry creek on the border of Victoria and South Australia.
420 kilometres south west of Melbourne is where we started our 2 day-canoeing trip.
3 canoes and 1 kayak for 7 explorers.
30.9 kilometres is how far we didn't use our hiker legs.
This Video is my first proper attempt on GoPro shooting and editing.

British Fishing Boat -Poole Harbour Canoe Netter @Studland Bay
Specially designed for use in the shallow waters and creeks of Poole Harbour .Dorset ,these fishing boats are very popular with Poole Fishermen for netting .
Canoe Basic Training
A canoe is a lightweight narrow boat, typically pointed at both ends and open on top, propelled by one or more seated or kneeling paddlers facing the direction of travel using a single-bladed paddle. In International Canoe Federation nomenclature used in some European countries such as the United Kingdom the term canoe refers to kayaks, while canoes are called Canadian canoes.
Canoes are used for racing, whitewater canoeing, touring and camping, freestyle, and general recreation. The intended use of the canoe dictates its hull shape and length and construction material.
Historically, canoes were dugouts or made of bark on a wood frame, but construction materials evolved to canvas on a wood frame, then to aluminum. Most modern canoes are made of molded plastic or composites such as fiberglass. Until the mid-1800s the canoe was an important means of transport for exploration and trade, but then transitioned to recreational or sporting use. Canoeing has been part of the Olympics since 1936. In places where the canoe played a key role in history, such as the northern United States, Canada, and New Zealand, the canoe remains an important theme in popular culture.
Canoes can be adapted to many purposes, for example with the addition of sails, outboard motors, and outriggers.
In the North American fur trade the Hudson s Bay Company s voyageurs used three types of canoe:
The rabaska or canot du maître was designed for the long haul from the St. Lawrence River to western Lake Superior. Its dimensions were: length approximately 11 m (35 ft), beam 1.2 to 1.8 m (4 to 6 ft), and height about 76 cm (30 in). It could carry 60 packs weighing 41 kg (90 lb), and 910 kg (2,000 lb) of provisions. With a crew of eight or ten (paddling or rowing), they could make three knots over calm waters. Four to six men could portage it, bottom up. Henry Schoolcraft declared it altogether one of the most eligible modes of conveyance that can be employed upon the lakes. Archibald McDonald of the Hudson s Bay Company wrote: I never heard of such a canoe being wrecked, or upset, or swamped ... they swam like ducks.
The canot du nord (French: canoe of the north ), a craft specially made and adapted for speedy travel, was the workhorse of the fur trade transportation system. About one-half the size of the Montreal canoe, it could carry about 35 packs weighing 41 kg (90 lb) and was manned by four to eight men. It could be carried by two men and was portaged in the upright position.
The express canoe or canot léger, was about 4.6 m (15 ft) long and were used to carry people, reports, and news.
Modern
Aluminum canoe
Plastic: Royalex is a composite material, comprising an outer layer of vinyl and hard acrylonitrile butadiene styrene plastic (ABS) and an inner layer of ABS foam, bonded by heat treatment. As a canoe material, Royalex lighter, more resistant to UV damage, is more rigid, and has greater structural memory than non-composite plastics such as polyethylene. Royalex canoes are, however, more expensive than aluminium canoes or canoes made from traditionally molded or roto-molded polyethylene hulls. It is heavier, and less suited for high-performance paddling than fiber-reinforced composites, such as fiberglass, kevlar, or graphite. Roto-molded polyethylene is a cheaper alternative to Royalex.
Fiber reinforced composites: Fiberglass is the most common material used in manufacturing canoes. Fiberglass is not expensive, can be molded to any shape, and is easy to repair. Kevlar is popular with paddlers looking for a light boat that will not be taken in whitewater. Fiberglass and Kevlar are strong but lack rigidity. Boats are built by draping the cloth on a mold, then impregnating it with a liquid resin. A gel coat on the outside gives a smoother appearance.
Polycarbonate: Lexan is used in transparent canoes.
Aluminum: Before the invention of fiberglass, this was the standard choice for whitewater canoeing. It is good value and very strong by weight.[21] This material was once more popular but is being replaced by modern lighter materials. It is tough, durable, and will take being dragged over the bottom very well , as it has no gel or polymer outer coating which would make it subject to abrasion. The hull does not degrade from long term exposure to sunlight, and extremes of hot and cold do not [affect] the material. It can dent, is difficult to repair, is noisy, can get stuck on underwater objects, and requires buoyancy chambers to assist in keeping the canoe afloat in a capsize.
Folding canoes usually consist of a PVC skin around an aluminum frame.
Inflatable: These contain no rigid frame members and can be deflated, folded and stored in a bag. The more durable types consist of an abrasion-resistant nylon or rubber outer shell, with separate PVC air chambers for the two side tubes and the floor.
The Port of Plymouth Canoeing Association
The Port of Plymouth Canoeing Association (PPCA) is a friendly, active kayak and canoe club. We are based at the Mount Batten Water Sports Centre, Mount Batten in Plymouth, Devon, on the South-West Coast of England (UK) where we have good access to excellent spots to paddle canoes and kayaks.
We have a strong (growing) membership of 140 or so, of all ages. We are affiliated to the British Canoe Union (BCU) and the club has a reputation for high standards in coaching and safety.
We provide a busy programme of training and coaching for new, existing and young members. Our coaches include Level 2 Coaches, Level 3 and 4 Sea Coaches, and Level 3 Inland coaches.
We offer a variety of activities ranging from gentle paddles to white-water. There are also several social events both on and off the water - above all, we are here to have fun!
A Sea Kayaking trip around Jura, Inner Hebrides, Scotland. May 2018
A fantastic trip from Carsaig bay crossing at Tarbert, out Loch Tarbert into the Atlantic Ocean and paddling up the West coast of Jura. Through the Gulf of Corryvreckan back down the East coast and over to Carsaig Bay. A three day trip. Three kayak trolleys started, two of those are now in need of some TLC. kayaking around Jura allowed us to access bays not accessible from the land due to the large cliffs.
The caterpillar is identified as a Six spot burnet moth.
The soundtrack is from the fantastic Skerryvore and Skipinnish.

Sea Kayaking Dorset - Old Harry Rocks.
The Dorset Coast,the Jurassic Coast,I had been absent for far too long.My first Port of call was Swanage,and I realised it had been 17yrs since my last visit......I am getting old.Since I started Sea Kayaking in Aug. 06,kayaking here has always been in my plans,why it took so long,I don't know,but anyway here I was - better late than never!
My memories of Swanage,were all good,in fact very good.We would Dive from the Dive boat Kyarratoo from the pier,with Roger,who was a character to say the least,and lived up the hill in a house of equal character.The diving from here was particulary memorable,the Sun always shone,and it was a great little town.In fact,it epitomises what a British seaside town should be - Sun,Sea, Sand,promenades,Piers,Punch and Judy,ice creams,deck chairs and knotted hankies.Not too brash,well kept,friendly and with quality architechture and charming traditional pubs,there is even a Steam Railway.After a 17 yr absence,could it be as fond as my memories? don't forget I've had 17 more years to be more Victor Meldrew as well...... I am pleased to say YES,absolutely,in fact it was probably better,with just one huge new problem,can You guess? PARKING, oh my god,it is a 'mare,and the traffic in general - phew.I arrived,as Camp Bestival was ending at Lulworth,and the traffic was horrendous,as was the journey down,and going back.When you see all those vehicles going in as you're going home,you wonder where the hell are they all going to go?The 2 times I've been the Scillies,have co-incided with the start of the Summer break,and leaving Penzance at 7.30pm on that Friday you are greeted by 10 miles of solid traffic entering Penzance - scary stuff.
On to the paddle,Old Harry Rocks,are at the extreme of Handfast Point,turn this corner from the West and you enter Poole Bay,with Bournemouth dead ahead,and the Isle of Wight to the East.Follow the coast and you come to Studland beach - lovely.The paddle is fairly straight forward,and is easier from Studland,and is quite popular with families on Sit On Kayaks,but care is needed,there is a tide race off the point here,and it is quite a race,as it is at Ballard Point.As with all tide races,in light winds,there isn't much of a problem,but the slightest breeze against it,and it can quickly become a cauldron.as I have witnessed many times,even in the most inoccuous places.Great caution is needed,and the tide flows strongly through all the gaps in the rocks,and it flows faster than you can paddle.The day after,we saw a family on sit ons Dismount as it were,and drag the boats through,it is shallow.The day after,I cut short my trip around Durlston Head,came back,met up with Matt at Swanage,and We paddled right around to Studland - the next video.
