- 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

Wow, what a place to go paddling when the conditions are good, thank you so much for taking the time out to film, edit and up load.
Thanks again Alex, conditions were almost too good on this trip🤣
4:51 - That water looks beautifully smooth! Almost glasslike.
Yes indeed, we had big high pressure weather with almost zero winds some days, not typical Scottish weather 😆
Natural
Thank you for sharing. I very much enjoyed the trip.
Thank you😁
Really enjoyed this one, brings back great memories, definitely need to return to this area. Top videography too. 😀
Thanks Andew, one day we may even get a paddle a trip together!
👏👏👍👍❤❤
Very cool! You can't beat a Trangia stove either 👍
Thank you😁
You said it best with the words, serene and glorious. And those dolphins just was icing on the cake. Cheers and thanks.
Thank you😁😁😁
Amazing lovely and encouraging other people to start kayakking....if you plan a trip to the Netherlands someday to kayak in the Biesbosch you' re more than welcome.(including some Laphroig whisky)...regards Bart from Sliedrecht
Thank you very much, with the lure of some Laphroig I will give it some serious thought🤣🤣 Cheers
What a perfect time, what a perfect video! Thank you very much for this! Eberhard Koch Bonn
Thank you very much Eberhard
Thank you Bob. That was a lovely video... such amazing weather and conditions. The scenery was just gorgeous.. Very much appreciated. Best wishes. pam
Thanks Pam😄😄😄
Magnificent. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you 😀
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.
Again, thank you very much. Yea the weather was almost too good!
Great video. You certainly got the weather for a leisurely cruise.
Thank you.Yes indeed, it was almost too good and very un Scottish to be good for so long!
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!
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🤣
Appreciate all of that but I wanted that the outcome gets the recognition it deserves 👍
Great video 🎉
Thank you very much😁
I've seen many of your vidéos in these
nice landscapes. Your tent seem strong and confortable, sont which brand ans model is it, please ?
Hi, my tent is a Berghaus Cairngorm 2 man. I'm very pleased with it, good usable space without being too big
how u doig?. bravo- top trip.
Hi, Im good thanks, thank you very much😃
so so beautiful and good edit of the video too, thanks for sharing ! what camera are you using?
Thank you. I'm using Go Pro 9
By the way...what are the water temperatures is the conditions? 25 ° air can mean 15° water in the Bretagne what means drysuit necessary😅.
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😁
Thank you very much for your answer, 10`😮! Drysuit😂!
What date was that coz a think it was the date a was on uist can u let me no please
Hi, it was 9th - 14th June 2023. If I recall, there had been a few few weeks of high pressure before this as well, I remember thinking I'd missed a spell of good weather, but it went on and on! It did break a couple of days after I think
@getwet501 yes a fot so a was at uist from the 22 May till 4 Jun lol was amazing you should do erisky if av spell that correct sorry am tired
Hi, tbh it's all good in the Outer Hebrides😁 I did do some paddling in the sound of Eriskay in October, video will be up before too long. Cheers
