Description
In this classic account of sea-kayaking adventures, Robin Lloyd-Jones recalls many a memorable expedition to wild and beautiful shores, from Scotland’s magnificent west coast and Hebrides to the northern island groups of Orkney and Shetland.
Along the way, he explains a great deal about kayaking, and about the wildlife and history of the places he visits. Through his vivid and beautifully crafted prose, we experience the terror of a force nine gale, the tranquility of moonlit waters and the lure of tiny bays, accessible only to a slim kayak. Dolphins, seals, otters, unidentified monsters and even nuclear submarines also feature. The result is a magnificent celebration of coast, island and the ever-changing Scottish sea.
