Shetland Delights

UPDATE: PRICE NOW INCLUDES 5 NIGHTS ACCOMMODATION - MON 27TH JULY -SAT 1ST AUG

Shetland is at the top of my paddling bucket list! Out of this world with cliffs, islands, birdlife galore. ( I know the page says Orkney but can't seem to adjust this.)

A plethora of different coastlines and islands for the Intermediate paddler to explore... stacks, tunnels, caves, caves, caves,

I'm teaming up again with Anita Daimond from Anglesey, we've worked together now for eight years, and Kate Duffus from Skye.

In addition to coaching and paddling experience, all coaches brings an abundance knowledge on wildlife and environment.

Due to demand and interest, we are being joined by Kate Duffus.

We will tailor the days to your needs and aspirations to make the most of the conditions.

Key points:

1. 4 days paddling - from Tues 28th - Friday 31st July 2026
2. Planning for one overnight camp if weather allows
3. Suitable for paddlers confident in F3/4, 1m swell
4. Voxter / Mainland based
5. Fully-supported by three Advanced Sea Coaches
6. Perfect for post-symposium paddling
7. Not included: travel to paddling venues, food

FYI I may bring a trailer and so will spread the increased costs across the group - ferry and fuel.

Suitable for intermediate paddlers who paddle regularly - Shetland is subject to winds and swell.

1. Your regular day paddling gear incl helmet
2. Bright headtorch
3. Campsite kit if needed
4. Maps for Shetland (optional) OS 1, 2, 3, 4 as Anita and I will have them.

Paddling plans will be made daily depending on weather and tides and we aim to explore several islands and tidal areas.
