Corryvreckan

Fullfilled a long held dream of Toms and kayaked through Corryvreckan to the west coast of Jura.   Conditions were ideal.. Slack tide at Neaps, v calm weather and Toms meticulous planning meant we were there at the right time to the minute.   Nevertheless, there still seemed to be simultaneously an east going current of 4km/hr with a west going current of 4km/hr just beside it.  We swept through with a clutch of hopeful seagulls and camped in the nearest bay, Bagh Gleann nam Muc, getting up at 4am the next morning to avoid getting caught up in the eddies.
