Thanks, I enjoyed reminiscing on your great video. I spent a lot of time in Scotland many years ago, from the Western Highlands to the Cairngorm Plateau. I have lived in Western Canada for 19 years and it amuses me that Canadian friends think their is no wilderness in Britain. I can say that by far the most remote and challenging conditions I have been in were in Scotland. The only thing missing in Britain are the extreme low temperatures, alpha predators and the extreme distances.

really enjoying your films Jamie, thanks for sharing. Is your Nova Craft a Tuffstuff version? If so, how are you finding it, pros/cons etc all the best

I’m pleased you’re enjoying them! It’s one of the last royalex versions they made. I’ve used a tuffstuff one as well, theres honestly not much difference in it to me. However, I don’t really do any white water paddling so maybe i’m not pushing it hard enough to see the differences.

@@JamieBarnes I have a tuffstuff, TBH not as tuff as the name might imply, I find it quite fragile. Like you, I don't challenge it with rocky waters as I know it won't take the knocks well. However the weight is the main reason I bought it, the ability to load/unload solo from roof bars is crucial for me

I made my home in Highlands of Scotland about 1999 and have seen most of its nook and crannies or have we ? it looks it will take close to 100 years to explore all of the Highlands . Each year we try to see a different area different loch and glen yet it just goes on and on .

Great adventure, but lads, those hard shell canoes are pure shit. Time to get yourselves a quality inflatable that can take all kinds of rough water, Mine even keeps going in the waves when it has turned into a paddling pool. It's also very comfy to sit on, and easy to roll up, pack into a rucksack and carry on portages. Trust me, I've used mine in seas and lakes and rivers so rough it beggars belief how well it took it all.

mate, I dont know how you do it, 4km across the shite Scottish bogs throw at you with a Canoe, I shit it walking, big time. Ended up thigh deep a few times in what looks like slightly wet ground, knowing damn well you are going in, but no choice to go in! I bet your mate from Canada doesnt come back!!! I also laughed, you brought too much camera gear, the only "long distance" canoe trip I did was down Loch Sheil, we loaded the two man kayak thing (like yours but must have been bigger) 2 x 24 cans of beer under each seat was the first thing in. Having never paddled before and hitting a headwind, I never had the muscles for this, we probably got about 3 hours paddling before we quit, found a nice wildcamp and stayed there for 3 days. Thankfully, the Scottish Gods were against us and decided that it would do a 180 on the wind and have it in our faces on the way back too. I say thankfully, because it taught me a very valuable lesson, take a motor.

Waw, thank you! I miss my trips to the Scottisch highland, I remember myself to please return soon & get out here. We are looking at your video, and bring up memories on how harsh & exhausting the wind is. You feel so exposed, as you never feel in any other place. The highlands make you change your plans every time due to weather... It's amazing!!!! If you feel exhausted on a trip, please keep your breathing in your nose IN & OUT. If you do not do this, you will loose lots of moist & warmth of the body through the mouth. The nose is made to keep water & warmth inside. Also, you will keep up O2 levels high up. Breathing mouth, you will drop your O2 levels & feel exhausted. If you keep breathing nose, and this feels uncomfortable, just relax, it's a kind of simulated altitude training you are experiencing & very healthy. Just go slow, your body will adapt & feel refreshed soon. If you have questions, please feel welcome to mail me on [email protected].

Great footage, beautiful as the great lochs are they can also be terrifying places. I was once halfway across Loch Lomond when a sudden storm flew up with six-foot-plus waves, it was a nightmare in broad daylight, absolutely terrifying! When we finally got to land it felt so so good to have firm ground beneath our feet!

Your companion Martin what a character, having spent time in the Army it was great to see a smile on his face regardless of the situation, it can be uplifting in the most extreme circumstances. Well done for completing the trip. 😎😎😎

That's a cool trip. The canoe is a fantastic tool to experience the feeling of true wilderness in areas that are really not that remote. I wish you had talked to the camera while filming instead of the voiceover though. It takes away from the feeling of coming along on the trip while watching.
