In a bun dance

If I'm going to get something, I usually get it in spades - luck (both kinds), children, clutter, dirty laundry, bright ideas, daft ideas...

Things I learned from going kayaking…

June 13, 2013 By Ellen

Wet isn’t necessarily as cold as you’d think…

It’s OK for journeying to be a verb.

Just when you think that kayaking is a piece of cake, it isn’t. Something your muscles may remind you of for sometime. 

It’s fine for a day to feature two lunches. 

It’s not always as easy to deviate from your course as you’d like and, vice versa, it’s sometimes difficult to maintain a heading. 

Bute is an island of contrasts… no really. And that’s because the Highland Fault Line bisects it. The northern section is entirely different to the south. 

Before long there will be an Argyll Sea Kayaking Trail – with camp sites and everything. 

While a kayak looks graceful and feels right to paddle, getting in and out of one is never a pretty manoeuvre. 

Just when you thought walking, ski-ing, running, driving, cycling was the best way to travel, another very excellent one comes along. 

And finally, I learned what a tsar has for breakfast…

    I so want to try this! Maybe not in the sea to start with. A nice shallow, warm lake maybe.

    It looks jolly windy and choppy, not to mention cold. Well done both of you.
