- This is another film created from footage I took during my year long solo kayak journey around Scotland. This was filmed at the beginning of March 2023. I hope you enjoy it.
Cameras: GoPro Hero 11 and GoPro Max.
Kayak: Big Pond Kayaks, ‘Mannta’.
Paddles: Aquabound ‘Whiskey’ Carbon.
I absolutely love that stretch of coastline. The maidens in particular are spectacular by anybody's standards.
It's a commiting stretch of coast with huge rewards, that's for sure!
Watching the first 20 min. of this while working our on our WaterRower, on a rainy day in the PNW, made exercising FUN! Seeing how you approach caves & cautiously deciding whether to enter or not is exciting when you do, & a relief when you don't LOL. I hope your journey lifts your soul.
Stunning coastline Nick
Watching every miNUTE movement and using the swells in the caves, love it 😊
Thank you Bob.
Incredible journey, extremely demanding and challenging . Beautiful seascapes, can't get much closer to the water than this .
Thank you very much and best wishes.
Man v nature in the most stunning coastline. Love it..❤
Thank you - I'm very much immersed in the wildness.
Another good one Nick. Keep ‘em coming!
Thank you and best wishes to you.
Excellent. That looked great fun. I had to cheer with you when you came through at the end. 🙂
Ha ha, thank you Craig.
👏👏👍👍❤❤
Why do I get anxious every time you paddle into a cave?!
Ha, please don't, but thank you. It's actually an incredible experience with the echoing sounds and the sense of being somewhere few will venture.
Another great vlog. The cave 25 mins in looked like a roller coaster ride but as usual you made it look easy to navigate! I’m sure it took a lot of skill and all you knowledge. Have you visited the caves before or your first time?
This was the first time I'd seen these caves, so it was like being a child exploring an exciting place. Thank you and best wishes.
Love your vids Nick Ray. I may replace my aging GoPro with a 360 cam because of your influence. I wonder if there is any way to change the settings to reduce the fish-eye lens quality of the images? Or is that unavoidable? And how do you mount that cam on your kayak? Do any of your other vids show that?
Thank you very much Kurt.I edit the 360 footage on my phone app and it can be a challenge to lose the fisheye effect. It might be easier when editing on a pc or laptop with a dedicated video editing package. I use a GoPro suction mount with a lightweight thin pole. The suction mount is bomproof (on my fibreglass deck) but I do have a security attachment just in case. Best wishes.
@@NickRayLifeAfloat Thanks! I just found your blog and it's very high quality writing. Keep up your excellent work.
Thank you.
Amazing! I've been meaning to ask .. is the canoe more stable when it's moving through the water . Like a bicycle is stable when going forward?
It's actually more stable because it's loaded with all my gear and equipment. The key really is to 'wear the kayak' and allow it to move with the seas, rather than try to control it too much.
