Click on the event and the details will open in a seperate window In order to give you some idea of the type of trip and conditions you might experience trips are graded from A (lowest) to C (highest). They can vary from a day paddle on a sheltered inland loch to the exposed headlands, cliffs, crossings and tide races among some of Scotland’s rugged coastline and islands. If you are a newcomer you should start off on a Grade A trip so that you can judge your capabilities against other paddlers and minimise the risk to yourself.
Grade A is in sheltered water. You should be capable of paddling 20km (12 miles)per day in Force 2/3 conditions. Grade B is in more challenging waters and may include tidal streams, exposed headlands, and open crossings between islands. You should be capable of paddling 25km (16 miles) per day in up to Force 4 conditions. A Four Star paddler would feel comfortable on such a trip. Grade C You should be capable of paddling in more difficult conditions than Grade B for a longer time. | |
