As SUPers we are challenged by wind probably more than anything else. A short paddle of
a couple of hours or may be a day paddling into wind can be challenging but
accomplished. A four-day adventure in to a remote environment with ever changing
conditions demands that as guides we are prepared for all eventualities – the comfort and
safety of our clients is paramount.
Boards inflated, shuttle completed, food issued, sun cream on, we sat on the banks of a
crystal clear loch – only a light breeze providing a slight change to its texture. Welcome to
the west coast of Scotland our number one favourite place in the world! For the next four
days we are going to travel into one of the remotest places in the UK. After months of
planning we begin our pre-trip brief. Checks completed, questions answered and some
laughs to send us on our way we dipped our paddles into the fresh water and began a very
special journey.
