Lady Isle Sea Kayak trip ...

I have previously admitted a liking for Trig Points – they form the basis of OSGB mapping which I read more than …well probably anything. A work colleague and friend pointed out the rather obscure Trig on Lady Isle which sits just over 5km off the coast of Troon at NS275293.

The problem in visiting it was the requirement for a boat. I made some enquiries and quickly came to the conclusion that a sea kayak trip was the best option. I have my own boat but not the skills or confidence to attempt a solo trip. Bit of chat with my pal Matt at a post hill race curry indicated he was up for making the trip. We avoided the nesting season so as not to disturb the wildlife and an opportunity arose last Friday enjoying perfect paddling conditions – in fact it seemed a shame to be only out for the afternoon. More such trips are in order I reckon.

Huge thanks to Matt for sharing the madness !
