The 2002 Touring Calendar

Scotland offers some of the best sea kayaking in the world and its lochs and rivers provide superb open canoeing. The Touring Calendar offers an opportunity to paddle new areas, meet more paddlers and for personal development. However please note that it is not specifically a coaching opportunity unless stated as such.

St Kilda Participants should read the Participants Guidelines (rtf) to make the trip enjoyable for both themselves and paddling companions!

If you are interested in joining any of the trips listed below email Touring for details.
