Hello,
I am in Kirkwall for university placement for the next month. A fellow student Lynda told me about your club after having an amazing time with you this week. I'm a complete beginner but would love to get involved in the sport. Would it be possible for me to come along on Tuesday to join in?
Many thanks Ashleigh

Hello,
With some friends I will be visiting the Orkney islands from the 10th of June until the end of the month.
We would like to tour the area, but before starting off on a tour we would like to visit one of your club evenings and learn more about the islands from people who know the area.Get some ideas for day paddles to get used to the water(s) etc.
Regards,
Iede

Hi myself and six friends are coming to Kirk wall on FRIDAY 17TH for a weeks sea kayaking we are all members of Clydebank kayak club and are all 3 star and above paddlers are any of your members paddling on Saturday 18th and could we contact them/

Hi - I'm staying on Orkney for a week 24/5 to 2/6 with friends from further north, who may bring one or two kayaks of their own (we're flying). Would love either to be able to join them with a borrowed/rented kayak and/or to join KKC on a club meet. Many thanks Martin Robinson (Southampton)

Hey there, Stromness Academies Gold Duke of Edinburgh group is interested in Canoeing as their mode of transport for their expedition. Does anybody have any contacts of canoes that can be hired or borrowed August/September time and contacts of a qualified instructor who would also be willing to help our group of 5 with the basics? Our practice expeditions would be likely happening in Orkney around the lochs. Prehaps this is the wrong place to post this but if anyone knows of anyone then that'd be great! thanks

Hi there, I'm hoping to be in Orkney for a week, around the end of May. I'm doing some work observation at the hospital with a view to maybe moving to Orkney in the future. I have kayaked a bit (rivers and lochs) but only used a sea kayak in a loch! Really keen to do a bit of sea kayaking when im up on one of the weekends? Can anyone help, advise who i can contact? thanks so much! Lynda

I am coming up from Aberdeen as I have a meeting in the Orkney office on Tuesday the 13th November and have been toying with the idea of taking of coming coming up the weekend before to have a little explore about Kirkwall. I also wondered if there was a chance of any sea kayaking that weekend? I river Kayak here back in Aberdeen for the Aberdeen Kayak club but would love to try some sea kayaking if at all possible? I have my own dry kit and can eskimo roll (although ive never tried in a sea kayak!) - id just need loan/hire of a boat and the comapny of course!


If any one can help or point me in the direction of somewhere else that might be able to help then please let me know

thank you,

Shelley

Was wondering if this would be of interest to any of your club members,there is spaces left on both trips.

This will be guided kayaking trips to St Kilda the Monach Isles and the west coast of Lewis and Harris on the Mv Cuma. There are two dates one on 4th – 10th June and one on the 30th July- 5th Aug 2011 For further information contact murty.campbell@btopenworld.com

Hey guys, great website. It was really good reading Kelda's Paddling diary. I thought it was really interesting..

I'd say all thats missing is a members page, would be good to see everyone involved. :)

I hear alot about your trips and everything from Mum and Dad (Neil & Kate) and they really enjoy it. I'm looking forward to having a peedie shot of their kayaks.

Cheers and hope you have great year of paddling ahead.

Karen :)

had a wonderful paddle last night.
Left from st Peters church and headed south along the caves and stacks.found a long deep cave tht comes out on the other side. A great intro to real Orkney paddling for our visiting guest!..

Congrats on the polo success this weekend lads. Sounds like you did great. Another string to the club bow. :)

Hi great website :) keep up the good work and beware of the MONKEY lol

Hi folks! Well I seem to have found myself on the committee of BSI Padling in Bergen with responsibility for trips. That puts me well placed to arrange things for folk to come to Orkney and folk to come to Norway! Any interest?

hope you are all having a good time!
heres to more happy paddling in the new year!!

Could you tell me if this talk is still on, as I would like to attend. Many thanks

So what about that sea battle then? We would need another paddling association (key word) to beat, but it could be a good fund raiser.

I am loving the picture at the top and feel very honoured!!

great work guys.. good to see it up and running..
