Another great video Bob. I have yet to go over the New Bridge, as the last time I went over the Fourth was when the Queensferry Bridge was being built. We were stopped in traffic and could see them bringing in a span of the bridge. Sadly wasn't there long enough to see it put into position. I did try last year to go over it, but cocked up and ended up Glasgow way instead, on our way to Oban to camp for the night before heading on to Mull.
Hi Bob, Peter here from Aus. I am an avid follower of your adventures. I particularly like the way you use a single camera to great effect. I appreciate the fact that you are happy to kayak solo on some of your adventures. I know how difficult it is to find paddles buddies after retirement. Mostly they are doing anything but participating in ""risky"adventures"". Loved seeing the Firth of Forth bridge from your angle. A beautiful structure I have only observed via Michael Portillo's rail journeys. Thanks so much for the opportunity to see more of the kayaking destination of my dreams. Scotland, and in particular the inner Hebrides.
Hi Peter, thanks for the kind comments. Sometimes I prefer to Kayak solo, sea kayakers can be a very strange bunch🤣 I have to agree, the Hebrides, both inner and outer are amazing
There's so much I could say about this video, but I can sum it up with one word Fantastic. Such an amazing paddle with lots of beautiful views and great information too. You're so lucky to get to see that aircraft carrier so close, and the ferry was awesome to see up close too. Very nice of them workmen to let you have a look around the lighthouse that was very interesting. All the way through the video I was thinking where's the seal's and just as I had given up One popped up to say hi. Looking forward to your next adventure.
I love Kayaking but only in closed off lochs. If there is any sort of inlet from the ocean or North sea etc i just can’t bring myself to do it. As rare as it maybe be, anywhere that Orca’s have been spotted hunting in the past i won’t go near, i watched a video of them going after a Kayak just of Orkney and he just got out the water on time, since that i won’t go near anywhere they can reach. Haha
Great video, I love that the lightouse painters let you up to the top
Thank you. Yes I was cheeky enough to ask, and they seemed very happy to oblige 😁
Fascinating, what a great few days kayaking, thanks Bob.
Thanks😁
Great video! I’ve done a number of those trips myself and really enjoyed revisiting with you! Thanks.
Thanks Alan😁
Great exploration trip Bob thanks for taking us with you again ❤
Thank you 😁
I interrupted Miami Grand Prix Practice 1 to watch this one 🤣 - and I’m so pleased I did - superb 👌
Thanks Norman, pleased it was worth the disruption🤣

Well, thank you so much for the kind words. Yea there was a shortage of seals this time, usually there are more in this area

@allanjames2744 yea I think I'd be rather rather nervous if I saw an Orca close up!
Bob, who is playing the guitar?
Not sure, which section are you refereing to? I can check
@@robertevans7801 no it's ok, I thought it might have been you. Some good guitar in it
@@radleytube Not this time, my guitar playing isnt that good🤣
What boat are you in?
@@gradyrm237 hi, it's North Shore Ocean 17
@@getwet501 Very nice. Interesting how every region of the world has their own favorite manufacturers.
Yes indeed, and even regions within countries seem to have their own manufacturers strong holds, often supporting a locally produced kayak
Hello, What day was this expedition?
Hi July 2023
