Sea Kayaking & Dolphins

Tuesday, November 1st, 2011

Sea Kayaking, Otters & Dolphins Near Inverness

This weekend I (Andy) attended a sea kayaking course based near Inverness. The course was all about sea kayak leadership and after sitting the assesment I will have a sea kayak guiding qualification. The course was very interesting and I was amazed with what you can see on the outskirts of the city.

On Saturday we were playing underneath the Kessock Bridge which connects Inverness with the Black Isle as it crosses the Moray Firth. As we were paddling and chilling out a couple of Dolphins were playing on the suface/ I’ve never seen Dolphins so close up before and these guys were pretty big. After a while the Dolphins took off so we cncentrated on some more paddling skills in the 6 knot flooding tide and boily whirlpools.

We took a break for lunch around 1 p.m. and as we were having lunch on the bank an otter appeared a couple of times and appeared to be fishing & playing in the flow. It’s just a small example as to why sea kayaking in Scotland is so amazing and that these experiences are so accessible less than 2 miles from Inverness city centre.

Sunday we took off to Hopeman which is on the east coast near Lossiemouth and Elgin. This strecth of coastline is massively under rated in sea kayaking with natural rock arches and caves to explore along the way. We stopped for lunhc on a beach with caves and had a quick explore after a small surf session.

All in all a great weekend and a I kept having to remaind myself that I was on a training course! No pictures I’m afraid but maybe we will have some to show you from our staff sea kayaking & bothy trip next week !

Cheers
