Due to the numbers of sea kayakers that will be paddling around Shetland’s coast over the next week or so (around 60!), it is requested that individuals, or smaller parties of kayakers, do whatever they can to inform either the club or the Shetland Coastguard as to their intentions of route and duration on trips for reasons of general good safety practise, especially if they intend staying out overnight.

The friendly and attentive Shetland Coastguard can be contacted on (01595) 69 2976 or VHF Channel 16.

The club can be contacted through the website or by calling available, or known, members mobile numbers or send a text message.

Please remember: Safety first.
