out and about - 2019
30 March 2019 .............. Back on Luing
Back on Luing with some super weather - looking out on the sea kayakers paradise of the Firth of Lorne, with Fladda and Belnahua in the middle distance, and the Garvellachs away at the back -
A cracking view looking out past the northern end of Belnahua to the northern end of the Garvellachs.
It doesn`t look like it in the picture, but that stack at the end of the Garvellachs is actually an island separated from the much bigger island of Garbh Eileach by a narrrow channel -
Looking away across to the amazing cliffs on the various headlands on either side of the entrance to Loch Spelve on the east coast of Mull -
The Firth of Lorne is certainly a sea kayakers paradise, especially when it looks like this - but you really need to do your homework - the whole area has some of the fastest tidal currents in the UK, and strange tidal timing, with up to a 2 hours difference between slack water and high or low water.
And then there are the tide races - Dorus Mor, Corryvreckan, Grey Dogs, Cuan Sound, to mention just some of them.
And not forgetting the Falls of Lora - with its tide race which is in a class of its own.
Enjoy !
