The season winds down

Well, what a year! The 10 dry, warm weeks from April time turned into a generally dry and warm summer, unlike what other parts of Britain seems to have been experiencing. The shorts have been on more often than ever before and the wellies have been replaced by Crocs. Most of the holidaymakers are off back to work and school, though we're still pretty busy here at Ach na skia Croft and, what's better still, loads of our favourite guests have already booked again for next year.


The house build has been rather on the back burner of late due to still more kayaking exploits - Tuesday evening sessions, more training with Skyak Adventures on Skye, Sunday paddles and an awesome trip to Shetland with Glenmore Lodge. It is such a privilege to be able to explore the caves, arches, geos and subterranean passages of the Shetland coast and islands in a craft that is small enough to get right in there and feel the power and the magic; a very special place.
