Thank you Wullie. Absolutely stunning loch!
Is there a reasonwhy you didn't buy the 16
@@rotorent963 Just because I am mostly paddling solo and it's a little easier to handle on moving water. But the 15 can still seat two for days out.

What an amazing one-of-a-kind experience. The Nothern gem! 💙 #BWCA
Was a great experience. One of a kind, but hopefully not a one off, would love to go back again. Thanks for watching, Paul
Great adventure and thank you for sharing it with us. The scenery and silence must have been epic!
It certainly was! And for me it was mind-blowing just that there is so much of it. Thanks for watching, Paul.
Just subscribed to your channel - great content. Hopefully see you soon with more content.
Thank you and I appreciate your support. Take care, Paul.
Ty, Great vid Paul, love it. It's awe inspiring isn't it. I watched EZE's awhile ago and thought it was the best representation of Algonquin so far. Took me awhile to find the group's vids. I like your meal plan...got some ideas! Do you know that you guys were recently brought up in a podcast here...think it was with the Budnicks, or Bairds. You should come back for a month.. hard to do I know but you could hit 3 or 4 Parks in somewhat close proximity (Canadian Close) and maybe slightly different topography. Algonquin (for nostalgia), Killarney, Temagami, French river, Mississagi all within 200 km of each other. I don't fish and thought Algonquin was fished out but recently learned otherwise.. just this week watched a vid where 2 guys caught 107 trout in 3 days in the fall. Better luck next time!
Would love to come back and severely hope I get to do so. Eze is out in Wabakimi right now, we often discuss all going back together at some point. Love the idea of doing month and exploring a few parks. Thanks for watching and I'm glad you liked it. All the best, Paul.
@@WhenNaturePauls P.S. I was just out a couple of weeks ago on a different loop into Big trout Lake (nobody on it then) I had to go pay a tribute to your campsite. My Fav vid and Fav part(that thunder storm). It was my slow day and paddled to just about every site :) Checking out a site we did about 25 years ago.
Great viewing as always. Thanks!
Thanks Chris, hope you are well.
@@WhenNaturePauls Indeed, writing my 4th book and decided to take it to Scotland, I had the idea of meeting a man in the wilderness complete with a few mishaps, maybe a dog out in a stranded canoe in the middle of a Loch. If you want, I can write you into the story, or if not, I'll think of a fake character.
I just wrote it but it won't let me copy it in here.
Sounds awesome and it would be a privilege 👍
Fantastic video this Paul, i really enjoyed the drone footage, loved seeing the drone following you on the canoe, very cool. Glad i am not the only one getting stuck on the river bed 😁. Thanks for making the video, great job 👍
Thank you. I have to give credit to Eze for piloting the drone footage; it certainly out really well. Getting stuck is all part of the fun 😁 Glad you enjoyed the video, Paul.

Outstanding place, was a real privilege. Thanks for watching, Paul
Hello Paul, my 8 Yr old daughter and I have enjoyed this video. Inspired by your adventures on Loch Shiel, we got a tandem inflatable kayak and last year around 9 or ten miles down from Glenfinnan, we camped at a beach and paddled out to a little island called the Black Rocks, a very historic spot. This year we have just returned from a paddle to the Green Isle, where we camped and had a wonderful time. We think it's time we got a proper canoe. Is your silverbirch suitable for starters or could you suggest something else? Looking forward to your next video. Next year we want to try your 'epic beach'. Best wishes.
Excellent stuff! It's such a beautiful area and chuffed I inspired you. The broadband is a great canoe and a good all rounder. Mines a 15ft, but if you're always going tandem I would go for a 16ft, you can paddle the 15ft tandem but once you start adding camping equipment, you'll appreciate the extra load capacity. If you're only paddling flat water you could go for a canoe with less rocker and maybe something a little lighter, it really depends on your usage. Norfolk may be miles away for you, but the boat house at Attenborough (silver birch HQ) used to rent you a canoe and if you bought one refund the money, if you want to give one ago. The beach was epic! There is another epic one just round the corner as well.
Thank you Paul. We are in North Kent and Attleborough is 2 hrs from us so I've emailed SB. Exciting! Today we watched your first Loch Shiel circuit video and realised that at the end of Day one, you camped at the same beach that we did last year, just opposite the Black rocks. My daughter keeps saying she hopes we'll find you on our next expedition! Lastly, have you any tips for estimating how far you can paddle in a day? We've learned the wind makes a huge difference, but is 10 miles alot and perhaps planning for 5 more realistic to start with. I guess it comes with experience. Best wishes from Anne ( 8yrs) and Martin (dad)
@@crusadersports1 little trip on the broads maybe. Yes a super beautiful spot and it came at a good time for us. As you said it really depends on the weather conditions. 10 miles is definitely achievable and could easily do a lot more downstream on a river or with the wind behind you, but other times it can be a slog. Best to stay flexible and have a few options. I've not been able to get out in the canoe much lately due to multiple reasons keeping me super busy, but hopefully I'll be out again soon and who knows we may cross paths.
Thanks for the help and advice, Paul. We really like your relaxed style and hope you can get out on the water again soon. We'll let you know how we get on. Best wishes, Anne and Martin
Love the loch and your dog. Thanks much!
What about me! I did all the filming and editing 😂 thanks for watching I'm glad you enjoyed it, all the best, Paul.
@@WhenNaturePauls You too!!
fantastic video, loved this !!
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Sat here on a night shift in dublin Airport watching yr vid,really enjoyable, so here come the questions part,how long from from kylescue to the end of Loch Beag was the paddle and from there how long was the walk to the falls
Awesome, thanks for watching. Seems ages ago now, but from memory I think it took me almost 3 hours to get there but maybe only one hour on the way back , due to the wind. It's not a long journey by any means.
And the walk 15mins ish 👍
I'm doing the nc500 in Sept,would love to find a small boat guy to pilot me as close as he can and maybe tow a few kayaks
There are boat trips a few times daily from the hotel at kylesku, but it only goes to the end of Loch Beag. You'll see it but you can't get off. Or you can park and walk along to the top of the fall. I'm sure it will give you a good view but you will only see the top of the fall
Truly beautiful thanks for sharing with us, Paul 👍
You welcome, thank you for watching! All the best, Paul
Another amazing adventure what’s the model of the canoe? I know it’s a custom SB but based on what model? Please. and is that the one you would recommend for a mix range of paddling? i.e. white water up to class three. some lakes and a little bit of sea.
Thank you and Sorry for late reply. It's the broadband 15, I just had the inside coloured red. It's based on the prospector design which is largely accepted as being a good all rounder and workhorse. It suits me perfectly, would be nice if it was a bit lighter but it is very durable.
Missing you Paul! Hope you have a new video coming soon.
Cheers mate. Not in the short term unfortunately. Had a bit of a break from filming. New job, new house and a new baby due any day now, has all kept me a little occupied with my priorities. A few more weeks though and I'll be out filming again.
@@WhenNaturePauls Wow, congratulations on all Paul! Those are all major life events. And a new baby, maybe a future adventurer like dad? Wishing you the very best with each. Enjoy it all, we (fans) fans miss you.

Thanks for taking uS along. I have watches a lot of videos exploring Algonquin. I enjoyed your video and at the end you said you didn’t know the other 3 gentlemen’ I had a weird feeling about the other 2 were not very friendly in your video but that may just be the trip. Well I enjoyed your Adventures. Around Bend Oregon out !!
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I can't recall the line you mentioned, but we all met via TH-cam and I had never met Matt before the trip and barely knew Eze or Fred before the trip.

I have been on a few adventures since with Fred and Eze and we are all hoping to do another similar adventure together. All the best, paul
Thanks for responding to my post. Glad they are still around doing Adventures. It’s had find people you enjoy spending that kind of time be in the backwater so I will be watching your paddles. Be safe and enjoy!!
@@WhenNaturePauls Awesome!!! We were watching this video and we thought you four were life long pals. So cool to make friends for the rest of your lives!!!
I can vouch for Eze he puts out some amazing videos, he has one on Algonquin, The Yukon and Patagonia, and others they are really worth checking out and he is a super guy, I haven’t met him but he can’t fake his good personality. It seems that most of those who join in remain behind the scenes of the main videographer. They all seem to love the wild and some are so good at getting great shots!
I love Stanley and an amazing place my favourite place in the Falkland Islands after Port Howard .
Truly a fascinating place, for it's size it has a lot to see, very interesting history, beautiful scenery and wonderful locals. I didn't get to Port Howard unfortunately, this was my only trip I managed to get to west Falkland. Thanks for watching, Paul.
Obviously, don’t want to say too much on here but congratulations you’ve joined a very small number of people to walk and enjoyed the beautiful beach of the Island . And PS, it’s horrific smell 😂
😂 luckily the camera doesn't pick that up 😂 Was a real privilege, such an amazing place and I felt very lucky to experience it. Thanks for watching, Paul.
Did the spey on paddleboards from kingussie to the sea in oct last year with 3 of my chums, Amazing trip sleeping on island in the woods, we all got very very ill though, lots of dead fish as well , Whats happening to our rivers
I read about that in the news, dead fish and some paddlers getting sick. I think in the end they put it down to some oxygen shortage rather than someone/something poisoning the water, but sounds like bs to me; very sad. Fortunately none of us got ill.
@@WhenNaturePauls yeah that was about us, I went to the local newspaper about it because when we were on the train on the way home taking it in turns to run to the toilet we read a story about loads of dead fish and they were asking people to report anything,
Very worrying. There are truly some disgusting things happening to our rivers at the moment and not a lot being done to fix it.
Great trip through some fantastic rapids. Just got a 15 foot Grumman Canoe. What's the name of the knot you use to tidy away you're bow mooring line? Looks nice and tidy. Cheers
Awesome, I'm sure you'll have a great time with it. Without watching it back I couldn't say for certain, but my go to knot is often the Evenk hitch, used by the Evenk people of northern Russia to secure horses. It was popularised by Ray mears (at least for me) and is very efficient. Paul Kirtley has an excellent demo on TH-cam. Glad you enjoyed the video, happy adventures, Paul.
Just re-read your message, you meant the plait. Yes it does tidy it away nicely and unravels easily. Here is a link. www.animatedknots.com/chain-sinnet-knot
@@WhenNaturePauls thanks. We used a variation of the same knot to pack the stay sails when I worked on the tall ships in Holland. Cheers
1:40 800km would definitely be the biggest portage of the day!

@@WhenNaturePauls - I’m curious. What was in that open “bag for life” at the front of the canoe that kept getting filled with water?
Some fire wood from home, just in case we needed it. It got a good soaking, but still burnt well 👍 a dry bag would have been my preferred option but I didn't have a large/strong enough one spare.
@@WhenNaturePauls - I thought that might have been it. Even soaked on the surface dried out wood still burns well. I had some wood at home that took nearly 3 years to dry out it’s core.
Yeah exactly

Hello, I just watched your video, your journey through these different lochs, fantastic. We plan to go canoeing in Scotland, in July/August, my partner and I and why not, repeat your journey, we are not canoeing professionals but we can sail up to class 2 without problem, remains the sea, do you advice to give us for approaching the sea with its currents and tides. Thank you for your response and congratulations again for what you do. thomas
Hello, glad you're enjoying my videos. I'm no professional either. This was my second attempt at the circuit, I failed to get round the coast last time due to less than ideal conditions, I wouldn't attempt it unless it was good conditions. We paddled the north channel of the Shona islands against the incoming tide and wind, it was a good workout 😅 and just doable for me solo. At low tide the north channel becomes blocked by sand banks on the east side. At high tide the rapid at the bottom of the river sheil will be washed out if you don't want to run it, but it is also easily portage. All the best, Paul
Is this cove bay? ...love yiur work ... truely amazing
A little further east near Sir Robert Stables Cave. Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you, I appreciate the encouragement.
HI Paul, super quick question mate, can you tell what canoe you have? warm Regards from a Yorkshireman in Bavaria.
Hi, it's a Silver birch, broadband 15, not the high line. I had the inside coloured red, lacing and a sailing seat all done for me at manufacture. I've had the fortune of a week's paddling down there, mostly on the Iller (I think it was) such a beautiful location. Take care, Paul.
Beautiful gorge! I was wondering how such a steep-sided feature could hold such still waters…. I suspected a waterfall or dam would be revealed eventually. Paddling in early autumn would be breathtaking! Cheers!
Stunning place. Yes unusual to have such a gorge with slow waters, but it makes for a very pleasant paddle. Thanks for watching, Paul
Not sure how I missed this when it came out but what a great trip. Weather couldn’t even spoil it but no midges in Scotland is a blessing!!
Was a good time of year to paddle, good water levels, as you say no bugs and not too cold during the day. The hot tent made the whole trip a lot more pleasant. Thanks for watching, Paul
Lovely video, but fancy stealing the milk from your baby 😅
😂 I'd forgotten about that. Thanks for watching, I'm glad you liked it.
