- Sea Kayaking Circumnavigation of Shetland's Magnificent Muckle Roe.
A great friend, local Shetlander, Erik Isbister and I enjoy a fabulous day together exploring Shetland's Gem, Muckle Roe, getting up close and personal to all the amazing features; Tunnels,Caves, Geo's, Natural Arches, Sea Stacks, Hidden Beaches, as well as the splendid wildlife and so much more.... - Sport
Thanks kindly for all the great videos!
Thanks for your kind comments Dave, so pleased you are enjoying them 👍
Another fantastic video. My bucket list keeps expanding; I'll never get around to kicking it.
Hi Gadget and thanks for joining me again, so pleased you enjoyed it. Absolutely 👍 so many great trips to do and so little time but we've just got to keep getting out there and giving it our best shot!
You have some superb locations in NZ, the Kaikoura fur seals and dusky dolphins were amazing when we were there and it must be unbelievable kayaking with whales 🐋 😀 There must be loads more like Shetland too!
Amazing scenery, perfect narration and great music make for an immersive watch! Awesome content thanks for sharing with us! 👍👍🙏
Thanks for your comments Midway Sey, I'm so pleased you enjoyed it 👍

....and the music tracks are so fitting. Well chosen.
Hi and thanks for your comments. I'm so pleased you enjoyed it and it's interesting you thought the music so fitting.
I find it very difficult to choose appropriate music as we all have different tastes, some viewers just want to hear the sound of the water, but without music you loose your audience irrespective of how good the video is.
Thanks again and best regards Geoff
Working out on our WaterRower to your video of sea kayaking around the caves sure makes it fun. Thanks!
Hi Diane, thank you for your kind comments. Yeah, a WaterRower maybe good for a home workout and a great idea watching some of my video's (thanks) but you can't beat being on out the water around Shetland, an absolute mecca for sea kayaking especially in and through the deep sea caves. So pleased you are enjoying them, lots more content on the channel.
Cheers Geoff 🍺
Love your videos! Thank You!
Thanks so much for your comments and so pleased you're enjoying them...lots more still to edit, stay tuned 😀 👍 Thanks again!
Just amazing (as always, Geoff!)
As are your comments Tip 👍 Thank you so much 😃😃
Great video. Brought back superb memories of July this year when I did the same trip. A brilliant day out sea kayaking.
Aye, it's a great trip Colin and so pleased the video shows some of the highlights you experienced. Muckle Roe for me has got to be up there as one of the best locations in Shetland for amazing features. Glad you enjoyed the video 👍
Absolutely brilliant I often wonder how my Viking Profish 400 SOT kayak would do on these sort of trips. Amazing coastline and great videography 👍
Thanks again for your wonderful comments Bryan. I think in the right conditions it would be OK, circumnavigation of any island would obviously expose you to conditions on some part of the trip though and if winds did strengthen a SOT will be lots slower and with the wider beam you'd not be able to ride swell from the side by leaning, giving an uncomfortable ride as you'd be thrown around considerably more.
Thanks Again Geoff
I have recently found your channel and enjoy it immensely, the video content, narration and sound track is very captivating. I am hoping to get back to kayaking soon as I haven't been out for a couple of years. I am still very much a novice as I only took it up at the age of 60. But it's never to late and the benefits will be worth the effort. Thanks for the videos and I look forward to more of your adventures take care and safe trips out.
Thank you for your great comments Martin and im so glad you're enjoying the channel, my video's and little adventures.
At over 73 Sea kayaking has been my life for over 50 years and is what keeps me going. I'm sure it won't take you long to get back up to speed and continue building on old skills as they never leave you. As you say the benefits speak for themselves, just being out on the water gives me that special "saltwater injection" and zest for life's adventures, stunning views and amazing wildlife...nothing quite like it in my book!
I wish you all the very best in rekindling your spirit, if I can be of assistance in any way just give me a shout. Meanwhile enjoy the channel and keep your comments coming. Best Regards Geoff

大自然でいい場所ですねー。。。
最高‼️😊
I hope you enjoyed it. Thanks for taking the time to comment 🙂 Geoff
Amazing, its not about distance, its about quality. Exploring the coastline is the best and what a place.
Thanks again David, absolutely, I just can't see what pleasure these guys get, munching mile after mile out at sea without enjoying any detail in the coastline and its tremendous wildlife.
Dont get me wrong, I've done stupidly long crossings in the past, training over 18 months for one trip, but that was for a specific reason.
Sitting in a kayak for over 28hrs does weird things to your peripheral vision where it felt like you were paddling down a narrow runway staring at a compass the entire time... Happy days 😂 but I'd rather paddle an interesting coastline any day 🙃😃
Hello my friend! Every trip to the sea is a new adventure. You are very cool man! 👍 Congratulations!
Hi Viorel and I hope you are well. Absolutely a new adventure every trip, no matter if you've been there before 👍😃
Thanks for your continued support my friend 😉👍
@@geoffburke Yes, thanks, I'm fine, what I wish for you too! All the best!
🤗
@@calatoruldac Thanks for your well wishes Viorel 👍😀
Great video Geoff can I ask what you use to keep your Garmin gps on Deck it looks fairly solid?
Thanks for your comments Liam and so pleased you are enjoying my adventures 😀
I get asked the question about the GPS mount quite a lot and I have a number of photos explaining what I've done and how it works. If you'd like me to send them with a written description, I'd be happy to help. Send me your email address and I'll forward them on, mine is: geoffburke@live.co.uk
Hi, I love your videos but think they would be much better without the music👍
Hi TrollBerg and thanks for your comments, music is a very subjective and personal thing and music in a 33 minute video is essential to build momentum, enhance the mood and retain the audience. Observe any film, news report or documentary, they all have music. However, as mentioned, it is very personal and impossible to please everyone.
If I may, take your video's for example if you did a 10, 15 or 20 min compilation video of Shetlands waterfalls with movement showing each location rather than a static view together with suitable mood setting music you'd be on to a winner, but without it your audience would have left before the 1st minute.
I do value your comments and will take them on board in an effort to be more selective with appropriate tracks.
The big issue is accessing such music which is prohibitively expensive and I make no revenue from my work.
Thanks and Best Regards Geoff
