Keltney burn solo

This is my attempt to paddle the Keltney burn solo. I did not complete the descent but climbed out of the gorge halfway down. Sometimes it's best to leave a river for another day...
Making a new harp for playing in third position

In this video I create a harp that is specialised for playing in third position. This is the link to my previous video in which I make a harp that can play 2 complete blues scales in second position. ua-cam.com/video/tu2j-3bMH-g/v-deo.html This is the link to my previous video in which I modify blow notes 2 and 3. ua-cam.com/video/rlNerjbyPh0/v-deo.html

In this video I list my top 5 Scottish rivers to paddle in flood. The rules are: no steep creeks and no rivers that flood rarely. If you disagree then tell me in the comments! Music by AlexiAction from Pixabay

An alternative way to carry your kayak

In this video I explain a quick and easy method for carrying your kayak: simpler than a kayak backpack, but much better than just putting the boat on your shoulder.
The same riff in multiple positions on a harp

You can put a quick disconnect in the strap so it can be disconnected quickly.
This is ace. More of this please
i love the native american village and frontier house on this river. the security guard chasing you is also exciting as is the possibility of being in the next series of Outlander.
nice info
What happens if you go right, Robin? I propose an experiment...
I’ve heard that there is a right-hand line; but I’ve never tried it!
I led a club trip down this (at the wet west) and a guy I was leading ended up in a coma. on review he'd lied about his experience of that drop (he had a cracked rib two weeks before which he lied about). Astonishingly the club committee gave him an award. Result was leaving the club alas.
Boats May be better? Music is NOT! Doors Forever
I loved it! Thank you. 🙏❤️😊
Doors edit with old school footie ❤
Great video
Fantastic work Robin, love your innovation and creativity!
Rapid Studies: for when you need to rapidly study rapids (studiously no doubt).
Well done, robin. Your not getting older, your getting....smarter!
Wow. Great idea!! Thanks
I started wwkayaing when the perception dancer was the one of the only plastic kayak, soon after came the dagger crossfire big change. I was friend with a paddleshop dealer so got the very first Dagger transition (awful design) then the first RPM in western canada. After that Corran Addison showed me kevlar hammer surfboat which I got in crosslined poly soon after. I also got to paddle Spike the designer from Necky kayaks the rip and the Jive prototypes. All the while squirt boating my enigma squirt boat on and off.
Thanks mate
I love your content !!! ❤
Just starting whitewater at 42 :)
Vielen Dank für das interessante Video !!
I followed and enjoyed your comments and perspectives especially on soloing in the paddle forum from way back when you were 'small Robin'. Great to recently rediscover you on UA-cam and to find out you have another string to your bow..! These videos are really top drawer, especially with the overdub comments.
Thanks for the compliments, but my username was never "Small Robin". It was "Dr Robin".
@@robinscott8936 Yes, remember that; I thought you'd morphed into Dr Robin once you'd got the qualification, must be it was two different people posting around the same time!
Nice video friend 👍👍👍
Awesome video! Would love to paddle these eventhough some rapids look a bit sketchy
Love the introduction of menace at 7 dwarfs.
These are my favourite days, well known runs at exhilarating levels, just don't swim.
Yep . I remember GRP boats that disintegrated on contact with big WW rocks, You polyetheleyne kids dont realise how lucky you are ! ha ha xxxxxx
Hilarious! And nicely done
I was hard into kayaking from about 81 to 97. Best times of my entire life. Seems like as I got older the desire to spend all day driving to/from a river sort of faded away. Now I do lots of mountain biking and hiking but I miss those river trips.
Thanks ,works fine with 3m cam buckle strap, which can be adjusted to get the loop length right by tightening the cam buckle
Love the trip down memory lane. The topolino. Melting the boats. The rivers etc. Bring back a lot of memories. Thanks for this great video
LOL,. I felt like I was watching an episode from Winnie the Pooh with Piglet narrating.
😁👍
I like it. Have you tested it with a fully loaded boat?
It works well with a loaded boat. I have found that it's less effective with short boats.
Started kayaking in 1990. Been at it ever since. And I can honestly say. It saved my life in so many ways. I will be forever grateful for every moment on the water.
Amazing video, being more comfortable asking for help is something we should all live by. Something us brits especially seem to struggle with.
This is awesome! Is this your original audio?
No, I didn't do this one.
Would love to see more videos from this water in full flow also which part of the river is this taken
It's from the end of the public road in Glen Lethnot to Bridgend.
well - how long was your strap?
This is gold👌

0:45 ouch... boy that's the truth.
That's some wild stuff to solo!
5kms!
Nice, simple solution. Often the best! 🙏
Definition of old school kayaking. Is you how to be a kayaker. Definition of new school kayaking is you have to have a kayak. The kayaks today make it so much easier to do stuff that you had to really work hard to do in the past.
Hi Robin, great idea! I just tried this (and about a half-dozen variations) with my Nomad. It doesn't quite work for this boat because the only spot to get the strap behind the front pillar is way down at the bottom of the hull, making the straps pull my shoulder back pretty far into the cockpit when carrying, which puts a lot of stress on the back of my head and neck. Your method did inspire a good final solution however, and ended up being even more simple. I just put a carabiner on the aluminum foot-brace stay, just in front of the adjustable nut and attach a loop of webbing (both ends) to the carabiner. Takes literally about 2 seconds to clip it on and you are on your way, no feeding through anything necessary, and at least for my body dimensions, the webbing ends up being just about the ideal length to also double as my emergency tow-tether which can be used for other rescue rigging. Also, if you have a long hike, or a situation where you need to switch shoulders on an approach, again it only takes about 2 seconds to unclip from one brace stay to the other. Thanks for your inspiration!
Hi Jamie, I'm delighted that my video helped. Yes, I'm sure there are hundreds of variations on this theme. One simple version I tried was just a 2 metre strap around the central pillar. I'm sure the optimum design depends on the model of boat and dimensions of the paddler.
"Sorry, you're gonna have to do this on your own!" YIKES. Not words you want to hear when you are swimming. But a good call on your part. No point in trying to help him any further until he swims through the next rapid.
Wow, I like that a lot! Quick to assemble, and uses something every kayaker already has
Very interesting. Definitely worth giving a try
that’s actually a really good short short film tbh
Position a quick release snap so you could release it in emergency
Nice idea. Will try this. Thanks for sharing.
