We have a very limited number of kayaks available for tonight’s pool session so we’re going to be club members only.
If you have your own kayak you’re more than welcome to bring it along. Please note it should be reasonably clean

Due to breezy conditions it was decided that a trip for beginners wouldn’t be on the cards so it was a small group of club members that set out to Vementry on Saturday afternoon. The combination of swell at right angle to the wind made for stretches of interest for short periods, and the last hour or so was into wind which the group handled well. All on all, a good day on the water for this more experienced group. And a trip to Vementry is never complete without a trip to the guns.
A number of Club members attended a two day REC first aid course run by Pete Richardson this last weekend. A good couple of days spent learning core skills and applying in the great outdoors. Many thanks to Pete for putting everyone through their paces
Existing club members – there are Tuesday evening trips. Contact Rachel for details
Seven intrepid souls braved the weather, went for a paddle round the island of Vaila on Saturday and enjoyed a half day out on relatively benign (if cold) waters. “Taking a swim” wasn’t a good idea with the temperature in single digits so it was nice when the bit of swell as we rounded Green Head proved to be the most we’d encounter through the day. Blow holes, arches, cliffs, stunning views of Foula in the distance, Tysties and shags were all enjoyed, but no ceteceans today. Good day out, good company. Thank you to everyone that came along and thanks to Rachel for organizing.
