Waveney

For family reasons we had to cancel this year's kayaking trip to scotland, but nevertheless we managed a nice trip down the river Waveney on the Norfolk/Suffolk border.  Some of the portages were interesting!

The cows were very curious










 Clearing a path through the undergrowth!
 

Mull

Weather beginning to change, so we start to think about coming home.

Scotland is still wonderful though.

Carsaig

Couple of nights with our friend David at his delightful cottage in Carsaig, with a stunning view over to Jura and a days kayaking with him on mirror calm seas.



The cottage next door is available as a holiday let  Looks wonderful.

Iona

The seas round Iona are a remarkable colour

Staffa

Fufilling a long held dream of Tom, we paddled from Little Colonsay to Staffa and Fingal's cave.

Lovely to be there before the tourist boats.






The wind got up (Force 4) so we put the sail up and headed for Iona, camping on a delightful skerrie off Kintra.

Little Colonsay, Nr Mull

Back to Mallaig, where we bumped into our friends Philip, Monica and David.

The next day we drove down to Mull, and set off to Little Colonsay

Canna

On Tuesday we paddled round the island, 

buying some lobster from a fishing boat on the way back.  It was a little tricky navigating the surf on the way back with a live lobster in my lap, but supper was good!
