Price includes coaching and guiding, with a 24 hour presence of Roger throughout the 9 days with the aim of 7 days sea kayaking and the hope of a 3/4 day expedition, weather permitting with wild camps.  

Food, campsite/accomodation fees, you are responsible for, with ferries and transport costs shared where possible.

Orkney is a truly stunning place, with amazing caves, arches, sea stacks, history, wild life, tide races, strong winds and North sea swell.  Hence the level of experience and ablity is for top end InterMediate paddler as a minimum.  What do I mean by that term?  Happy in 1-2 mt swell, F4 winds, tidal flow of around 6 knots and the waves that this creates, following seas, paddling 20 - 30 km currently, reliable roll in 1mt swell and the ability to beach surf up to 1mt. 

The initial plan is to meet up at a central location (probably in Scotland), car share were we can, to reduce fuel and ferry cost.  We will get the ferry from the North coast of Scotland  and stay at a static campsite for the first night (or more) depending on the forecast.

If you would like to read more then have a look at more blog from last year, exploring these magic islands, here and then a 3 day exped I did with a good friend, here.

Tempted, then email me to discuss further.
