    Love watching your adventures. I've always liked climbing the mountains of Scotland, but kayaking opens up a new frontier of adventure and your vlogs do a great job showing whats out there

      Thank you, yes, you get an entirely different perspective from a sea kayak, and can access some places no one else ever goes ie gullys sea caves, natural arches etc

    Another great video Bob thanks, my only complaint is it’s too short 😃

      Thanks Alex, criticism like that I can take😂 I often get people say they are too long. I tend to try and keep them short, but it never really happens....

    So happy to sit back with a cup of hot tea and join you and your friends on this adventure.
    Rain or shine you guys are setting a great example of what kayaking is all about.
    I'm not a kayaker, but your video's are a great inspiration, as I would like to give it a try.
    Again, thank you for all your great video's.
    Stay safe!

    Hi Bob, Peter here from Queensland, Aus. I am a great fan of your videos and the west coast of Scotland from a kayakers view point is superbly presented. I particularly enjoy your gentle and informative commenrtary. This trip was still a great adventure irrespective of the weather. As they say...no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothing. Thanks again for highlighting the amazing kayaking nirvana of the Scottish inner Hebrides.

    Stunning Scenery and Wildlife , even the attempted Stow away. It must have been amazing getting that close to the Red Stags.

      Thank you. The deer were fairly tame and apparently spent a lot of time in the village.

    Bob, the vessel that is blue with the red coach stripe round it ! Do you know the brand ? I can't make out what it says on the side.
    Enjoying your videos Bob, keep it up, i find them relaxing

    • @getwet501
      @getwet501  22 часа назад

      @radleytube. Hi. That boat is a North Shore. I cant remember the model name, possibly a Polar? It's a hard chined boat, not in production any more, but my boat and the orange one are the North Shore Ocean, which is a development of this boat I believe, but ours have a shofter and only partial chine. Cheers 😁

    This is a great kayak tour video. The scenery there is also very nice. If I get the chance, I would like to kayak there.

    Good content again. I really enjoy these and will watch all you can make. I also spotted the cairngorm 2 tent from this channel and bought it. Not used it yet cause it is winter in finland but looking forward to it.

    • @getwet501
      @getwet501  11 месяцев назад

      Thank you. I'm sure you will enjoy the tent. I'm a big fan of mine

    I may be on a losing mission though!
    I shared your video on Facebook. It was so interesting to see the whole peninsula from the coastline. I recognized the beach at Cuaig straight away. You were lucky with the weather 😊

    • @getwet501
      @getwet501  11 месяцев назад

      Thank you. Yes indeed we were lucky with the weather. I agree you should keep spreading the message, next time I'm there I will be able to call it by it's proper name😁

    As for Torridon I’ve always wanted to go there - that was the name of the Stewart built and beautiful wooden Scorpion dinghy that I crewed in Ballyholme Dinghy Week back in ‘66

      Great name for a boat😁

  • @annabelmacrae5256
    @annabelmacrae5256 11 месяцев назад

    No such place as Applecross village + it is called Shore Street. The whole peninsula is Applecross.

    • @getwet501
      @getwet501  11 месяцев назад

      Hi, thank you for correcting me😄. Every map I have puts the name Applecross by the village, hence my reference to Applecross village as I believe its commonly, if incorrectly called by those not in the know. Locals call it Shore street I now know, thanks for the insight,

  • @somechrisguy

    It's 'peninsula' btw...
    'Peninsular' is like what 'rectangular' is to 'rectangle'
    I found this pretty funny because your accent tends to add an 'r' to many words that end with 'a' so i can see how you ended up making this mistake lol
