We’ve had a superb & fortunate start, in brilliant sunshine yesterday, although we’re now a bit storm-bound:
Broke the drive up to Kintyre at the original Loch Fyne restaurant, before getting to Point Sands campsite, Taylinoan -an ideal start a trip like this: friendly, easy-going & right on the beach.
After a full, but relaxed morning of assembling & packing the kayak, we parked the car for the month & paddled off the beach, accompanied to start with by Leslie, another Kayaker we met at the campsite. She claimed to be a novice, but admitted to owning 4 kayaks!.
Had an easy paddle across to Gigha in bright sun, with the Paps of Jura beckoning us. Ah, life becomes simpler!
There were majestic gannets & cooing eider duck off the N end of Gigha.Found an isolated sandy beach with just enough room to camp
The evening got still enough for midges, but the forecast wind came in the night.
This morning’s shipping forecast SE 5-7 & watching rough seas from our sheltered spot persuaded us to stay put & walk to Gigha’s famous gardens & bar.. & seek coverage to send this blog & get more weather forecasts.
