Canoeing in Scotland

[Graham_S]

Mind you, if I go canoeing, I'll save a fortune, as I won't have to pay for a wedding....
Hmmm....

 

[Bushcraftsman]

I'm VERY interested in this, im assuming no prior canoeing experience is required?

 

[Bushcraftsman]

I dont mean this to sound rude in any way possible, my dads asked me to ask what the price includes? and im just saying...thats irrelevant! we're going!

Thanks

 

[GlenM]

Would it be any cheaper if I brought my own canoe and equipment ?
Otherwise i dont think I can afford it.

The idea is that it's straight forward for all concerned, if we start getting into selecting bits that we want or don't want to adjust the price it gets complicated and those running the course will never really know what they've going to end up with, they know their kit, that it's in good nick, and what they can expect from it and anyone using it.

 

[DavidJT]

Also possibly interested, but don't have much paddling experience. Is that OK?

 

[Woody]

No Experience required guys, for this or the Canada trip ... or for any of the trips now I think of it!!

Can someone say where in Scotland the trip will b e going?

 

[GlenM]

Completely understand the need to keep it as uncomplicated as possible.When I said I can't afford it I don't think its exspensive by any means, not when you compare it others it's just out of my budget.
I think I'll start saving for next year!!.......

I'm thinking if I can forage ALL my food from now till then I might be able to afford it, if not I'll see you there next year.

Guys.

We are making a start on the planning for the different trips.

Can you add your names below ONLY if you are seriously up for this trip. This trip needs 14 people by the 10th May to run

Quick Question: I'm a poor swimmer and have never been in a canoe. Though I can certainly improve my swimming -- though I hope I wont need it -- for the trip, should I also look at receiving some basic instruction on the canoe?

 

[Overlander30]

What's the detail of the expedition? Where is it from/to?

What's the detail of the expedition? Where is it from/to?

And the instruction ? Canoeing, I'll take for granted. Beyond that: fire/fish/forage ?

hi - am interested - as last poster said - wanted to ask if this purely a canoeing exped or will we be learning / practicing any bushcraft skills along the way?

no worries either way - am still very interested and will know if i can come in the next few weeks.

great idea to organise these opportunities Tony - many thanks :You_Rock_

 

[Tony]

Sorry, missed a couple of posts there being away.

it's mostly canoeing with bushcraft there will be the opportunity of bushcraft practice and some instruction where it's needed.

Are we talking Loch Ness transit? Is it good at that time of year? I'm v interested just had to postpone an outer Hebrides exped next month.
