Isle of Muck - Paddling with seals
THE ISLE OF MUCK COACHING COURSE - SCOTLAND
Muck is a small and remote island on the west coast of Scotland and was the venue for our Scotland Coaching trip. Muck together with its neighbours, Eigg, Rum and Canna, form the Small Isles. Getting there is a 2 hour ferry from Mallaig on the mainland - quite an adventure.
The island is two miles long by one mile wide with a population of 38 people.
Our aim was to provide an enjoyable wilderness sea kayaking trip and guide paddlers to gain essential kayak skills on moving water, rescue skills, planning navigation and judgement skills.
There were opportunities to explore the small and sheltered island of Muck in a relaxed and fun way, with flexible time off to enjoy the culture of remote island life.
Whilst we could not control the weather, we made the very best of whatever was thrown at us.
Thanks to the residents of Muck for their generous hospitality.
Thanks also to Simon for allowing me to include his amazing watercolours. He can be contacted at: simonsjungle.co.uk/

      @wavesoffun Wow! That's kind of a dream. I've had one seal come up to our group of 25-something kayaks and popping up close to many of them individually to check them out, having us wait 10-15 minutes as the inspection went on. But that is something else 😎

    Hi Ian, We met at Llyn Padarn over a year ago now. We have just moved up to Manchester from London, so looking forward to getting out to Anglesey on a settled day. I would like to get out to the old brickworks at Cemaes Bay as soon as we can. It would be great to have a paddle with you and gang out there on perhaps a shorter trip?! Enjoyed your documentation of this paddle. Cheers, Adrian

      Sounds good. The Brickworks is an amazing adventure... I prefer heading there from Bull Bay as fantastic seeing the Brickworks catch the sunlight from the opposite side of the bay. Drop me an email and we can sort something out... We have a few courses arranged already for the summer season
