Breathing New Life Into An Old Kayak: Upcycling Project
Join me and Grace as we take on an upcycling project to give her discarded kayak a new life. Having sat for a number of years gathering moss, I made Grace an offer. I would help her upcycle the kayak, making it once again lake-ready, if she was willing to give kayaking a second chance.
Thanks again for tuning in, if you enjoyed this one please give it a thumbs up, and I hope to see you next time for wherever me and the camera end up. Hope you all have a great week!

Looks great.
Thanks for sharing, informing and inspiring. Did you have to bring your own soap, shampoo and towel for the Refuges? How was water resupply along the route? Thanks, Pulpo
Thanks for taking us along on the trip. Amazing photography and information as usual.😊
The 'Great Glen Way' is actually on the other side of Loch Ness, but never mind!
Amazing island, I would love to live there and see my final days in such a beautiful country, although I am english I have Scottish ancestry and that holds very dear to my heart.
@@kalodner666 It is such a beautiful place, I completely understand why you would want to live there. It truly lives up to its nickname ‘Scotland in miniature’, doesn’t it. And to have ancestry from the area must make it all the more special for you.
Great vlog, brings back so many memories for me from my college days 36 years ago. There is so much to see on the island than you covered in this vlog. There's a great walk starting at Lochranza around to the Cock of Arran and then coming back overthe hils back into Lockranza(6 miles or so ). There is the amazing columar jointed basalt cliff structure of the Drumadoon sill, basalt based igneous rock formation. Check this- ua-cam.com/video/sNh-Xzn8OO4/v-deo.html
@@kalodner666 Thank you, that is very kind, it is lovely to hear it brings back memories. Did you visit when in collage? Or did you go to collage in Scotland? Thank you for the recommendations on where to visit, something to aim for if I go back. The walk you mention sounds beautiful, and the Drumadoon still something else! I certainly wish I had had more time to stay longer, but maybe it’s a good excuse to go back!
Super content keep the videos coming 😊
@@marybullock5146 Thank you Mary ❤️
Northumberland has some great cycles
Ah doesn't it just! Do you have a favourite route?
@@TheGirlGoneNomad yes
Really great video, thank you! I'm heading to hike it in about three weeks so this was useful. Did you bother with sleeping bags or did you find the blankets were enough? Sounds like it was mostly quite warm for you in the evenings. I'm assuming a warm jacket will be needed for evenings. Did you need to take hut shoes?
Hi Helen, thank you 😊Really glad it was useful for you with your own planning. It's a great trail, I'm sure you will have a fanatic time. It was toasty! I certainly didn't need the sleeping bag I packed and slept mostly in my thin downs blanket or sleeping bag liner. I would still take a jacket though for evenings and you will need shoes for the huts. Have a brilliant time! Let me know if I can help you with anything else.
@@TheGirlGoneNomad thank you so much, really appreciate the answers!
Hi great video. We are doing the hike this summer. Was wondering how much English is spoken along the way especially at the huts? Thanks!
Hi Fiona, thank you 😊 Ah that is great, you will have a brilliant time I'm sure. English is spoken in all the huts on the trail, hope this helps!
I’ve just bought my first board! Your videos are literally so relaxing to watch. Need to see more paddle boarding videos for some top tips!
Ah nice one! Have you had it out for its maiden voyage? Thank you for the kind comments, encouraged to get back out on my own board 😊
Just happened across your channel and glad I found it, really enjoying the videos I’ve seen so far, and even seeing Rich stuff his face with choccie biscuits in one! Speaking of which, I never thought I’d find a woman shoving a scotch egg in her face attractive, yet here we are!
Hi James, great to hear from you, really glad you are enjoying the videos! Haha well food is a very important part of cycling whether it’s a Bourbon or Scotch egg! Are you a keen cyclist yourself?
Yes I am, well Rich might say I’ve never been one! I have been slack the last few years, however I’ve just finished building up my new Camino Ti, so time to get back exploring the trails around the Midlands and beyond. Have you been out getting the miles in this weekend?
@@jameshounslow7013 Ah nice! A new set of wheels, best incentive to get back out there. Have you got any trips planned? Been trying to get out for some local miles, don't find it as easy to find good gravel in the North Lakes but good to explore. Hope you have a good week!
Great video! I'm hiking the route in july :) Is the route easy to find and follow? I always hike solo but am still a little nervous about getting lost ;)
This is very exciting! I’m sure you will have a fantastic time. On the whole the route was quite easy to follow, signs posts at points and only one diversion which was marked. We always came across other people to chat too, which was helpful to ask directions when needed 😊 Hope you have a brilliant time!
Great video Girl Gone Nomad, thanks for sharing it, there are so many great places to see and explore in Scotland, we've subscribed :) look forward to seeing more of your clips in the future 🙂👍
Thank you! Really lovely to hear you enjoyed the video. Ah absolutely Scotland is a treasure trove of places to explore 😊 Have you got a favourite spot in Scotland to visit? Hope you have a great week 😊

You can paddle a white water kayak in a straight line. It just takes a few outings a day or 2 apart. The main thing is to just go nice & slow easy at first. Most people overdo it & then loose control. It just takes a little time for your body to learn how to react to keep the boat under control. White water kayaks are designed to be highly maneuverable. They are deliberately directionally unstable so that a with a little practice you can turn the boat very quickly. Wind and waves present additional challengers, so make the 1st few outings on calm water. To help understand what is going on, it is easiest to start by talking about touring kayaks as this will help clarify how control works in a simple way. A touring kayak is primarily steered by edging the hull, but not the torso. If a touring kayak is level, it will go in a straight line. By tilting your pelvis while keeping the upper reasonably upright, you can make the hull tilt (edge) left or right. If the kayak is edges left (lower on the left side), the kayak will gently turn to the right & will continue to gently turn while it is maintained on edge. Bringing the kayak lever again will cause the kayak to resume a straight course, though it may take a few seconds to do so. In calm conditions, a touring kayak can be controlled effectively just by edging. In more challenging conditions of wind and waves, appropriate paddling strokes are needed as well as edging. Some touring kayaks are also fitted with skegs or rudders to assist with control in even more challenging conditions. It is important to coordinate all 3 control methods to assist each other. You do not want to have your turning strokes fighting against your edging as that will prevent effective control & simply wear you out. OK, so now you have the basic idea, it get a little more complex with white water kayaks. Once a white water kayak begins a turn, it builds turning inertia very fast & will soon be going sideways. So, if you have edged left, the boat will begin to turn to the right, but it's inertia will continue to carry the boat along it's original course. So not your boat is pointing to the right but traveling sideways to it's left side. The water begins to pile up on the left side & before you know it, you have been flipped over on the left. So, while it is correct to initiate a turn by edging left & doing a forward sweep on the left, once the turn begins, you should immediately edge towards the inside of the turn to counter the flipping effect of side drift. This is essential if you want to remain upright in a white water kayak. Now, while the boat has forward speed it will resist your attempts to cancel a turn. The faster the boat is going, the more stubbornly it will resist cancelling the turn. So, just take it easy, let the boat slow down to get it back in your control, or you can do a stern rudder or reverse sweep to correct an unwanted turn as these stroke will slow the boat down & make it more controllable. it won't always be so difficult to control & you won't always need to resort to slowing the boat the regain control. As you build skill, you will not need to slow the boat for control, but as a beginner it is really the best strategy, because the alternative will be a fight you can't win, it will sap strength and endurance from your muscles faster than your body can learn the requires coordination. So go slow, relax & enjoy the day, recover, then build on that experience again another day as soon as you can. So, now you know a some things that took me many years to experience & fully understand. I hope it helps you.
I hope this helps: the old kayak you brought back to life is a river/white water kayak. It's designed to surf waves, turn quickly and roll easily. Try paddling a kayak designed for flat water, you will find it tracks a lot better.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, the plan is to take it out on the river and see how it handles in its natural habitat! Hopefully, as you said, we’ll notice the difference 😊
Excellent video series! Thanks for sharing your adventure. Are you able to share what campsites you stayed at from Innsbruck onwards? We're looking to do this route next week and it looks like campsites are few and far between in Italy :)
Hi Dan, appreciate the kind comments thank you! Sure thing, I’ll just need to go back and check the GPX files, I will get back to you. Ah awesome, sure you’re going to have a great ride!
a little more practice and you will both become kayaking addicts . then upcycle that kayak for something more suitable for lakes , although its a great kayak , its stable and its unsinkable . it will get you from A to B safely and reliably . no real need to upgrade
Thank you for the vote of confidence! Certainly need more practice, but I’m trying my best to convince Grace it’s worth sticking at. It does seem like a pretty reliable craft, scrubbed up well! Have a great week
That area is gorgeous.
It is a beautiful area 😊
You need to keep sitting up more - engage core and hold it with knees and feet to help steer as you paddle.
Thanks for the tips, I’ll get Grace to give them go when she’s next on the water 😊
Well that was a great effort, even if Grace didn't take to it in the end. The kayak lives again!
Thanks Seth! Yes absolutely it’s now got a new lease of life and I’m not giving up on getting Grace back in the boat 😊
Ya sure the back isn't the front?
Haha she went for the stuff the airbags in somewhere and hope for the best!
Apaonge attachment on a power drill.. Arrr that grey slate in the houses reminds me of Ambleside.
Nice 1 bets.. Dosnt beat a sup 😂
Grace would totally agree with you there 😂
Great work upcycling the kayak! 💚Doesnt look in that bad of shape now. Loved the "washed away the eco system" comment and positive outlook. Im sure we could all do something similar with stuff we have laying around. ♻👍👍 Looking forward to part 2 😃
Thank you Craig! Glad you enjoyed it. Something a bit different, yer it actually looks in reasonable shape now. Just got to convince Grace to keep paddling 😊 Yes absolutely, reckon we all have something in the back of the cupboard we could give a new lease of life 😊
Nice work 👍
Thank you 😊
Absolutely stunning, this looks and sounds like a documentary. Just brilliantly presented.
That's very kind of you to say! Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it 😊
Hey I'm just wondering whereabouts you leave your bike when you explored the mountains by foot? I want to do a solo bikepacking trip and am just worried about how to leave it somewhere without it getting stolen. Thanks!
Hi there, I can completely understand, that’s certainly a worry I’ve had. We were staying at a campsite in the Dolomites so we left them chained up by the tent on our pitch. But I know some sites have bike stores where you could leave them. If you are wild camping it could be a little trickier, sometimes bus and train stops have a secure place you can store them. Hope this has been some help? If you needed any campsite recommendations just let me know, I’d be happy to share the ones I’ve used 😊
That was brilliant. How awesome is your dad picking up rubbish. I love that. I pick rubbish up too when out. Most people are clean and tidy on hikes, not all though sadly. On the river "Off you go"😂 Very nice to watch you both out together. Well edited and nice happy vid😁👋
I agree most people are really good with their rubbish, great to hear you are also part of the litter pick squad! Dad’s a trooper 😊 Thanks for watching, lovely to hear you enjoyed it! Haha yer he seems to have little concern for my safety 😂 Hope you are having a great week!
The same thing happened to me in Germany, I needed a spare part for the bike but by mid day on the Sat all the shops were shut, same on Sun and the Monday was a holiday. It was driving me wild. Here in UK we are used to basically, shops 24/7. The Asian community revolutionised retailing in this country.
Oh no! What broke? Was the bike still semi rideable? I know the feeling, I just kept praying it wasn’t going to rain again and thinking I should have brought my own tent!
Great video, really pretty country. Moved to Andorra 2 years ago and intend to do the hike this summer.
How fantastic! What a beautiful place to now live, you will really enjoy the trail I’m sure. I was surprised by how well kitted out the huts were, definitely over packed. Really glad you enjoyed the video, hope you have a great time hiking!
Fantastic movie, very well done. Loved the gorgeous scenery (subscribed)😊. I noticed your a pedal rider rather than cleats (I prefer my gravel bike with pedals) Just wondered what your thoughts were re the pedal vs cleat debate?
Thank you Andy! Great to hear you enjoyed watching 😊 I am with you on Team Pedal, particularly on the gravel bike. I have dappled with cleats in the past, but fell off one to many times stationary, unable to get my foot free! I think I would be more inclined to try them again on my road bike, but otherwise I like foot freedom on when off road. What about yourself?
@@TheGirlGoneNomad After a few years using cleats and having a few embarrassing spills like you I now prefer the freedom of pedals plus it's great when you get somewhere and can walk around without looking like Bambi on ice 😊
@@andychallenor4585 That is an excellent point! Avoid flailing around on hike-a-bike section 😂 Have you got any ride plans for the weekend?
@@TheGirlGoneNomad Just got back from a 4 week trip to the UK and it's pouring down with rain, no riding for me this weekend. Hope you have better luck 😊
@@andychallenor4585 Oh no! I do think the winter weather this year dragged on, it has been a very wet one. Had a few days in Scotland again this week gravel riding, one day was a wash out but the others welcomed some blue skies! Where in the UK have you been travelling?
This a action movie, not a video.. but going out of comfort zone is the best favor you do to yourself in this modern fake a€€ digital world 🎉

Thank you Mark, they are real troopers! Come rain or shine they were determined that we'd follow the route, their enthusiasm is infectious.
