Moidart - Daylight by Sea Kayak.

Surely one of the BEST views in Scotland! At 4min 20sec the panorama of Arisaig,Skye,The Small Isles,Ardnamurchan,and Eliean Shona is a contender,it seems to get ever popular this area,I discovered it by accident really.I was aware of it(Tioram Castle is on the OS map cover)but my first visit was seeking shelter out of the wind from Arisaig. This was my 2nd visit to Tioram,it really is a brilliant place,and can be the start/finish of many kayak/open canoe trips in various directions. The previous day had started fairly well,then the wind REALLY got up,spoiling a fantastic day,by all accounts the first decent weather of 2009 locally.I was a little apprenhensive in the morning,even though it was very promising,then the Edinburgh boys turned up,and invited me along for company,to my eternal shame I'm not sure of their names.I think it wasron, Mike an Robbie,and I think they were in Lothian CCFor christ's sake boys get in touch had a great time,proper down to earth people devoid of airs 'n graces,just enjoying the scenery,like myself! These boys,put their tents up and we were joined by another group who were with "Rockhopper Kayaking" I think,everybody was having a good time and we were all,I think,waiting for the wind to drop,and indeed it did later that evening,when I paddled back - see "Moidart Moonlight" For the record,the day after,I hit the road,and drove to Elgol on Skye,and did the trip that was my ultimate destination for this particular Scottish Sojourn - Loch ...
