An amazing weekend on the river Wye.
Incredible weather scenery and more important incredible friendships. The river was the busiest that I have ever seen it in all the years I have been running trips down the river…. Getting in the canoes and on the water felt more like a Le Mans start of a race.🤣
For some it was their first time camping and canoeing, and I just wanted to say an amazing effort to those newbies and those who I have already had the pleasure of meeting before.
We have just one more weekend available for this trip in September so please don’t delay if you have ever fancied the idea of paddling this stunning river.

Anyone who knows me knows that I don’t do mountains unless I can get up it on a snowmobile 🤦‍♂️ however I had a spare day so off I trotted up what is the highest mountain In the UK. Despite sucking in some serious amounts of air on the way to the summit, the views were breathtaking. As I was by myself and being the sensible type, I took a set of waterproofs, spare warm jacket, plenty of food and water, a small first aid kit and a electronic flare, plus stove blah blah blah … you never know as stunning as Mother Nature is, one thing I’ve learnt over the years is that she can bite you on the backside very easily if you don’t pay her the respect she is owed.
Makes me wonder how the chap with the Bluetooth speaker blasting out what I think was music whilst chugging gallons of red bull and the other chap wearing a pair of crocs without socks got on 🤔.

Last week we paddled the river Spey in Scotland. A total of 102 kilometres from Aviemore to Spey bay. Grade one and two rapids along the way.
This has to be my favourite river in the U.K. river levels were perfect and for once it stayed dry the entire time.
We will be running another Spey trip in 2025 and the date will be on our website soon.
Well done to everyone who attended for all the great effort and laughter you put into the week.

An amazing week paddling the Great Glen canoe route from Fort William to Inverness.
This paddle route had some of the most stunning scenery that Scotland has to offer.

Dates for our 2025 season will be on our website soon. Well done everyone who attended, Sterling effort, you should all be proud of your achievement.

26/06/2024

I have been away to Scotland for two weeks climbing Ben Nevis, paddling the great Glen and the river Spey.
So I decided not to do any social media whilst away as I wanted to be in the present moment so to speak and just enjoy the time with the groups.
Once cleaned and sorted I will post some of our amazing photos of our adventures.

So although we have had plenty of snow here in Sweden this year, we haven’t had any fresh snow for three weeks or more. Yesterday the last group of the season left and this all fell in two hours making the place look magical again…. Typical.
