A great week. We learned sooooo much more

“Just to say I very much enjoyed my week with Gordon, and I did get a lot out of it and I think my skills are improving as a result. Lots to think about and so many positive things to reflect on (The Kylerhea Narrows, and the trip to Soay were pretty special!).

I did manage to eskimo roll in the pool after watching the videos and Janice doing a great job of coaching.! and as John said- It’s practice A’m needin tae keep bidin afloat.”

My skills are improving

“I met so many lovely people whilst on the course and a special thank you to both Mick for his patience and persistence, and you Gordon for affording me the 1-2-1 time when we visited the “Coral Island” in Loch Eishort. It was truly inspirational and my abiding memory of that day which will always make me smile was the line “ … the more time I’ve spent being an outdoor education instructor, the more I realise I’m really a therapist!” Well the treatment you delivered on what was a pretty dreich day was spot on: you got someone with zero self-confidence there and back in one piece for which I’ll always be grateful.”

Truly inspirational

“First of all I want to thank you for what probably has been one of the best experiences I’ve had in a really long time. To be honest I’ve become hooked on the sport and taken the decision to start obtaining star awards.”

I’ve become hooked

“…a brief note to thank you for how well you take care of people when we’re there – gear to borrow, the kettle always on, resources to use, so much work put into helping us feel less nervous (even if some of us appear impervious to it, it is MUCH appreciated!), and so much obvious care, work and time put into running a quality training and quality assessment that is tailored to the individual students in the class. I know how much work that takes – so I wanted to say thank you.”

Quality training and quality assessment

“I wanted to say a HUGE thank you for an amazing week on the water. I couldn’t believe my luck when I won the raffle prize and I have been ridiculously excited about the course for months (ask my family!). Your coaching was spot on for me, Gordon, and I tried hard to take on board everything you said. I have plans for my three part homework, and hopefully Kate will see an improvement in 3 months time…”

Coaching was spot on for me

Thanks again for our day trip on Thursday. It was fantastic and Kate was amazing with us at Loch Eishort. Great coaching and encouragement. I want to continue my paddling adventure having now had a taste, learn and develop skills and gain experience.

Great coaching and encouragement

“A big thank you to you both for another memorable experience on and in the waters around the Isle of Skye. Special thanks to you Gordon for your full on skills sessions (Kyle Rhea tide race on the first morning for example, wow) and the attention to safety providing exciting learning opportunities not available on home waters.
