Scottish Canoe Classics

This revised and updated 2nd edition is an illustrated guide to some of the finest tours of Scotland's waterways. Wild lochs, placid canals and broad rivers, as they can only be seen from a canoe or kayak. Eddie has chosen his favourite twenty-five inland touring routes and described them in great detail. The routes are beautifully illustrated with numerous colour photos and maps. The selected routes are suitable for open canoes, sit-on-tops and touring kayaks. Many of them can be tackled as a single voyage or a series of day trips, with campsites en route. The journeys are all accessible but highly varied, taking place on inland lochs, sheltered sea lochs and rivers (of an easy nature, up to grade two). A wonderful book for planning voyages and inspiring dreams, or sharing your experiences with others. Eddie Palmer is a kayaker and canoeist of over 50 years' experience, having sampled virtually all types of paddling, including competition in slalom and white water racing. He commenced a journey of paddling many recreational routes in the U.K. and Ireland in 2004, and is now on the last 'Canoe Classic' trip in Wales, visiting many places visited in his youth, while growing up in the West Midlands. After 10 years on the Board of the Scottish Canoe Association, he is now both Chairman and President.
