We are really excited to be collaborating with Phil De Long from Wild Isles Sea Kayaking for a four-day course based on the Isle of Seil, looking at the skills needed to journey in tidal waters including the planning, tactics and techniques that empower you to make the most out of tidal flow.
The waters around Seil have a wealth of islands with dramatic tides which make it the perfect classroom for developing the skills in moving water.
This course will be a mix of journeys and coaching using venues such as Cuan Sound, the Grey Dogs, the Sound of Luing and the Corryvreckan.
By collaborating on this course we can offer this course at two levels at the same time.
For the Introduction to Journeying in Tide, padders should be comfortable handling a sea kayak in wind and waves up to Force 3.
For the Journeying in Tide Skills Developer, paddlers should have some experience in moving water (either white water or sea) and be confident paddling in winds and conditions up to Force 4.
Both of these courses cost £400 for the four days.
