"My plan was simple. I'd kayak down the West Coast of Scotland, and climb Munros from sea level. But I had a more abstract goal too. I'd grown up admiring Britain's many adventurers and explorers. I wanted to be like them. Now, having just become a father, this felt like my last opportunity, to become an adventurer"
In August 2022, I kayaked from Plokton to Arisaig with two friends. James joined me for five days, I spent two on my own and then Jack joined me for the final week.
On our kayak journey, we stopped to hike mountains over 3,000ft, which are called Munros in Scotland.
The adventure was full of unexpected twists, as a vital bit of gear broke on day two, we had an unexpected visit from the Coast Guard, injuries, lost drones, head winds and tuna.
It was a truly epic experience.

You are absolutely an adventurer now! Many lessons learned and quick pivots to recover from mistakes and improvise solutions!
Very cinematic. Beautifully crafted from start to finish. Thoroughly enjoyed. I too often think of wicked responses long after the opportunity has passed. 😀Greetings from Canada.
Great film, lovely watch. I'm with you on the company versus solitude. Have only just the past couple of years started to adventure solo and be okay with my own company and it's took some getting used to. I always reach a point where I wish there was someone to share the experience with, but on the flip side there is a bigger sense of achievement after an adventure alone.
Awesome adventure!!
That’s what adventure is learn from mistakes and go again with new skills and knowledge 👍
some nice footage in there , drone kayak and seal is quite cool
Thanks! The day with the seals was very cool.
Great video. To answer your question, near enough. Shouldn't be able to go to a pub but that's just a minor technicality.
Yes,you are. Lovely film. May I ask how you broke your skeg? Shame about your first attempted Bothy stay.I'm sure there's something in the Bothy Code that says "make other visitors welcome" Best of luck with your next adventure of fatherhood
Thank you!
Was the tuna on the beach at the back of keppoch ,arisaig last August?
What PLB have you? You may need to change it. Mine requires the aerial to be lifted, a cover raised and a button pushed to activate.
So does mine - absolutely no idea why it went off! I think an incredibly unlikely pressure went on the button somehow.
Very nice video, well done. Just one word of advice. You should never approach landed seals like that. Their life is one of daily survival and any forced action depleting their energy such as scrambling into water in a panic should be avoided. Cheers!
"An adventurer who doesn't like being alone ." That's like a Musician who's tone deaf !"
Seriously, enjoyed your film, some of my fav places up here in Scotland and there's plenty more to see.

Haha. Good point. I like adventuring with one or two others. It still feels isolated, but we can share the experience. But I'm coming around to be alone every now and then. Glad you enjoyed the film!
Ever heard of a fairly popular musician who went tone deaf and still wrote new music. His name was Ludwig Van Beethoven
It's a lot easier to carry a tent in a kayak and some folk are immune suppressed. I personally would avoid a bothy, but there's no need to to humiliate anyone with health concerns on CZcams.
