During my year long journey around Scotland in my kayak, I had the privilege of innumerable meetings with wildlife. Here, this seal was fast asleep in Burghead Harbour, totally unfazed by the bustling noise of fishing boats around and about. I often think of this moment and what I learned. Despite the cacophony of world events, and the possibility of these overwhelming me, I can be like this seal and find an inner peace.
A gorgeous early summer night out. Overlooking the Solway Firth and Scotland beyond. Wonderful.
Look to this day. Good morning!
Wonderful action down on the River Caldew this weekend.
@AgathaChocolats @littlemore20 Shark treads on a Lego piece.
A memory from 10 years ago, when I underwent Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), to overcome severe clinical depression. Sadly it didn't work. I look back on the last 10 years of struggling with the illness with pain, sadness and loss. During the last decade in total, I spent 18 months in hospital. It's a wonderful feeling to enjoy a strong (and definite) sense my trajectory is towards continued and sustained wellness. This is because I am deeply happy once again.
Sometimes mental health is not transformed by a single dramatic moment but neither is living with it a static process. It can change through small acts of movement, connection and persistence. I have come to know this very well. For this year’s theme of "Action" for #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek, I walked upstream through a mountain beck in the northern Lake District. It was a reminder for me healing is quieter than I imagine. Just like my solo journeys. One step. One breath. With every step or paddle stroke, one decision to keep going.
A year ago today I set out to walk the Four Corners of mainland Scotland. It was a wonderful adventure!
I’ve experimented with my latest film on YouTube. It’s 360º footage of me paddling into Fingal’s Cave, Isle of Staffa at the very end of my year long journey. Using a smart phone or tablet, you can pan the footage with your fingers. Fingal's Cave, Staffa, Scotland in a Sea Kayak - 360º Film youtu.be/6h_EW_Z_jKM
I have a new video up on YouTube. Kayaking from Portree to Staffin Bay on the Isle of Skye. Filmed in February 2023 during my year long sea kayak journey around Scotland. A truly memorable day. youtu.be/z6SiQ7wXo7U?si…
Hi folks, I hope all’s well with you. I’ve put up a new film on my YouTube channel. I hope you enjoy it. youtu.be/Tg2KOcfMQNE?si…
Attending to my inner 15 years old self. I love exploring the nooks & crannies of the coastline. I’m eternally curious, just as I was when I was a youngster. Here on the Isle of Man in my spruced up sea kayak.
@jbsnorthsky1 Thank you very much and I hope when you next visit Skye, you drop me a line so we can say hello.
Hi folks, here’s an exciting update regarding the LifeAfloat YouTube channel. It contains the big news - I’m moving to the Isle of Skye. After a long hiatus, I’ll be on the sea once more in my beloved kayak! youtu.be/8FsObKhKLf8?si…
@FindTime4Xrcise Thank you Mike and I hope you can visit.
