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.

Red rock at sunset
As the sun sank to the west of Loch Roag on the Isle of Lewis the grey rocks of Lewisian gneisss began to glow red.
Paddling under these great cliffs we basked in the radiated heat that had built up during the day.
The sun finally set on the western horizon, below which our destination, St Kilda, still glowed in the last of the day.
