Imagine you are at the edge of the sea on a day when it is difficult to say where the land ends and the sea begins and where the sea ends and the sky begins. Sea kayaking lets you explore these and your own boundaries and broadens your horizons. Sea kayaking is the new mountaineering.

Inchmarnock's beach of treasures.
Our weekend trip to Inchmarnock in the Firth of Clyde was blessed with stunning light.
We landed on a lonely beach which was patrolled by a golden eagle.
We were not the only ones disturbing the eagle's domain. Herring gulls were mobbing it.
The beach was full of treasures. The pink pebble is rhyolite which was transported here from Buachaille Etive Mor, nearly 100km to the NNE, by glaciers in the last ice age.
