SUMMARY:SpeyBAY BONANZA! [Ballachulish on tour]
DESCRIPTION:Following feedback from last year’s Bonanza we’ll go to an alternate venue every second year for the Ballachulish Bonanaza.  This year we go hunting for surf\, rapids and dolphins in the Speybay area\nThe location means there will be good options for both river\, sea and surf trips so there’s no excuse not to come and it should be a great chance to socialise whatever your paddling persuasion! \nWe’ll be staying in the hall so no tents are required but you’ll need to bring something to sleep on and under.  \nThe trip will be £30 per person to cover renting the hall\, plus a share of the grocery cost and usual fees for anyone needing to borrow kit. \nCome along and celebrate the end of a (hopefully) great summer of paddling on a trip that has something for everyone!

Let us know if you have any specific dietary requirements.  \nBring your own food for lunches\, we’ll be right next to a co-op for grabbing supplies as well as a pub for post paddle debriefing. \nThe trip will be £20 per person to cover renting the hall\, plus a share of the grocery cost and usual fees for anyone needing to borrow kit. \nCome along and celebrate the end of a (hopefully) great summer of paddling on a trip that has something for everyone!

SUMMARY:Suilven Sizzler
DESCRIPTION:Note: the dates for this trip have changed slightly – it had been the previous weekend  \nA BBQ and Bivouac on top of Suilven.  Arguably the finest grade A inland trip in the Scotland.   We will aim to be on-the-water and paddling from Elphin at 1:00pm allowing time for travel and packing prior to this.    It’s a 9km paddle along Loch Veyatie before we pack rucksacks to climb up the mountain.  We plan to camp on top\, which rarely sees winds under force 4-5\, and so particular attention should be paid to checking tent guy ropes prior (smaller tents are also preferable as they tend to have less windage). \nNote: This is a combined kayak and hillwalking trip and requires a level of fitness suitable for climbing a mountain with reasonably challenging terrain. Having a BBQ on top of a mountain may present a few logistical challenges which can hopefully be surmounted with ingenuity and cunning. \n \n
