John on the sea kayak trip around the Summer Isles<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I spent the weekend on the water on this sea kayak trip to the Summer Isles with Explore Highland. We had unbelievably good weather and conditions, sunny with a light breeze and (mostly) flat calm water.
\n<\/p>\n

Launching from Old Dornie near Achiltibuie, we headed round the north of Isle Ristol then down the east shore of Eilean Mullagrach. From there we headed to Glas-leac Mor and on to the north end of Tanera Mor – the main island.<\/p>\n

Searching for a wild camping spot, we eventually settled on a rocky bay on the south-east shore.<\/p>\n

Our second day involved a trip to Priest Island, enjoying a beautifully calm morning before the wind picked up for the return journey.<\/p>\n

A gentle finish to the weekend saw us bimble round Tanera More’s south-east tip, Rubha Dubh, into the Anchorage then back to Old Dornie, detouring to a fine beach on Isle Ristol for lunch before heading home.<\/p>\n
