Over the upcoming months and likely into our next summer season, I\u2019ve decided to pursue a project around what is, in a way, what I call \u2018my office\u2019. As we are now drawing toward the end of a fourth season operating Kayak Summer Isles<\/a>, in the north west of Scotland, I\u2019ve spent many hundreds of days getting to know, sharing, and exploring these islands. It\u2019s safe to say I know them well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I figure the next step of really embedding myself into the islands is to spend a night on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of which I do on a regular basis with our guests, but many others (the rocks and skerries) I\u2019ve not even landed on yet. By my count there are 17 \u2018proper\u2019 islands and 15 rocks and skerries big enough to safely camp and land on, making a total of 32 nights in the archipelago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I won\u2019t make them all in a season, as some will mean waiting until the bird colonies move off in winter so I won\u2019t disturb them. What ones I can do now I hope to tackle in \u2018evening blasts\u2019 after work and before starting the next day’s guiding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
