Kayaking the Sea Roads is a personal journey by sea kayak into the
heart of the sea roads that make up our Scottish Highlands and
islands. Blending the intensity of the journey with a careful
observation of the natural world and first-hand knowledge of the
challenges of living and working in this place, the author reminds us
that mother nature, vast and resilient, is still out there beyond our
mobile phones and urban lives. For those with the eyes to see, its
natural rhythms can awaken a deep sense of wonder and give us
cause to become part of the environmental recovery so sorely
needed.
With Ed, we travel low in the water with the restless sea ever present
and we camp with him on remote rough shores. We share his feelings
of wonder at the natural world, his fear at the exposure to rough seas
and we encounter with him not just the myriad animals and birds that share his every day but also the people, their
communities and the often gnarly rural issues impacting on human and animal alike. |
