On 21-23 rd July I am working at a Women’s Sea kayak Festival on the Scottish Isle of Bute, alongside top paddlers & coaches Carol Lang & Kate Duffus. The fantabulous Sarah Outen will also be coming up for the Sunday night and Monday of the Festival & will give a talk about her looping-the-planet adventures on Sunday night. I’m really looking forward to hearing more about her looping-the-planet adventures over the last year & trying to get some idea of just how frightening it must have been to be caught in a typhoon in her rowing boat off Japan.

The sea kayak festival was fully booked but there have been 2 cancellations, so if you fancy coming along (and you are female!)  then get in touch with the organiser, Roddy of Kayak Bute.

I’ve just found out that Lesley Mackay & Pam Forsyth will be teaching a fun introduction to Greenland-style rolling on the Monday morning – it’s looking like a great event!
