    wonderful. I visited Mingulay on the boat trip available from Castle Bay. Your video helped me relive it. The same frissons of wildness, permission, temporarily to visit deep water and sheer cliffs up front and personal. Privilege and raw beauty.

    Now onto Part 2... 3... 5..... 11..... Best wishes Bob. Safe journeys. Pam

    I have had several nights casting your adventures to my TV. Wow I didn't know how good the kayaking was around Sky. Rum, I visited 46 years ago on the Captain Scott Schooner, camping at Dibidil bothy. This didn't come has a surprise because i knew how stunning the place is. The sea cliffs at the southern end of your Outer Hebrides trip are something else. Love your vlogs, far better than David Attenborough

    Hi Bob, this is another brilliant video. This nature is incredible, I really have to come to Scotland again. Why else do I like watching your videos so much? It's her voice! Totally melancholic, sounds great. My wife says they should do documentaries on TV, like Volker Lechtenbrink did here in Germany :-)

    Absolutely perfect spot for sea kajaking. So do you think thats it was also possible to do such a trip with an inflatable Kajak ?

    • @getwet501

      Most certainly not.

    • @jezmarshall9941
      @jezmarshall9941 Рік тому

      If my incredibly stable inflatable is not a toy, but has deck and rudder and can maintain 3kts for 10-15 miles, why could this trip not be done if winds are under force 4?

    • @getwet501
      @getwet501  Рік тому

      Hi Jez, who knows, perhaps, I guess all inflatables are not the same. However, such places are very isolated and exposed with very changeable conditions. Visiting such places with any degree of safety not only requires the right equipment but also, and more importantly, the right experience and knowledge to go with it. I could be wrong, but I would suggest by the time most people have that level of knowledge and experience to go such places, they would probably also have decided an inflatable wasn't the ideal tool for such a trip. Anyway, just my thoughts, stay safe and enjoy your paddling whatever you paddle and wherever you paddle to😁

      Hi,I've white water Kayaked for many years, and always said I would sea kayak when I retired and had more time. I love the ability to pack a few days gear into your boat and head off to remote places... I would always recommend people join a club and progress that way, though that`s not how I did it😂

      Hi, yes indeed. Gopro mouth mount. Very usable, makes it easy to stop and start camera and gives a realistic angle of view. Only downside is that it picks up a bit of heavy breathing at times!
