We drove through the night and the following morning, enjoying fabulous views of the Scottish highlands, to arrive at this great biennial meeting of paddlers.
The Highlands are a marvellous place. People and things pretty much say what they mean and mean what they say...
My wife and friends from London arrived later on Friday evening, and we enjoyed three days of coaching sessions, from wilderness survival to Greenland rolling -- we all want to make Greenland paddles and skin-on-frame boats back in London.
After the Symposium proper, there are organised trips,in a variety of conditions,
but all in beautiful surroundings...
Everybody needs Beauty as well as Bread,places to play in and pray in,
where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul alike.
Keep close to nature's heart, ...
and break clear away, once in a while,
and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods.
Wash your spirit clean. - John Muir
