点评:12 months ago we Strarted planning a 4-5 day kayak trip down the river Spey, with Northern Outdoor adventures. Dan "the nan" Smith took 8 novice kayakers down just under 60 mile of THE most beautiful areas we have in the UK. To say this was one of my best trips I've ever done is still an understatement. Yes the weather was stunning, as we all know what our Scottish climate is like, even in September!!.
Dan knowledge of the river and camp site's are exceptional.
You truly wild camp, cooking is ask taken care of by Dan & is able second guide, Ritchie. All over open fire. Sleeping under the stars, is a phrase week used when you read a brochure about an outdoor experience. This YOU really do exactly that !! Given a clear night of course 😆 and we did, EVERY night. Watching shooting stars and satellites tracking the night sky is totally unforgettable. Take a hip flask with your favourite malt, and breath.
On the river, Dan took us through exactly what he wanted us to do and Ritchie would go ahead to show us the line through some "very challenging rapids" . Yes we went upside down, but we were never in any more danger than a bruised ego. You carry everything on your kayak and strap all your gear inside dry bags. Just make sure you do them up properly....note to self rrrrrr.
So, overall. If you get the chance to experience this trip or another one organised through Dan and his team.... DO IT !!
Hats off Mr Smith, 4 days my brother and 6 mates will NEVER forget.
Cheers
Kenny.
翻译:12 个月前,我们开始计划沿着斯佩河进行为期 4-5 天的皮划艇之旅,进行北方户外探险。 Dan “the nan” Smith 带领 8 名皮划艇新手在英国最美丽的地区航行了不到 60 英里。说这是我做过的最好的旅行之一仍然是轻描淡写的。是的,天气令人惊叹,因为我们都知道苏格兰的气候是什么样的,即使是在九月!
丹对河流和露营地的了解非常丰富。
在真正的野外露营中,烹饪由 Dan 负责,并且是第二向导 Ritchie。到处都是开火。 “睡在星空下”是您阅读有关户外体验的小册子时使用的短语“周”。这你真的就是这样做的!当然是在一个晴朗的夜晚😆,我们每天晚上都这么做了。观看流星和卫星追踪夜空真是令人难忘。拿一个装满你最喜欢的麦芽的酒壶,然后呼吸。
在河上,丹带我们完成了他希望我们做的事情,里奇会继续向我们展示穿过一些“非常具有挑战性的急流”的路线。是的,我们的处境颠倒了,但我们所面临的危险从来没有比受伤的自尊更危险的。您可以将所有物品放在皮划艇上,并将所有装备绑在干燥袋中。只要确保你把它们做好了......自我注意 rrrrrr 。
所以,总体而言。如果您有机会体验这次旅行或丹和他的团队组织的另一次旅行......那就去做吧!
向史密斯先生致敬,我的兄弟和 6 个伙伴永远不会忘记这 4 天。
干杯
肯尼.
