outdoor equipment hire
You are a competent paddler or walker who wants to go off independently on an over night tour or multi day expedition. We have (more or less) everything you will require from a pair of walking boots, a technical ice axe, a half day mountain bike to a sea kayak for a day or up to a week.
Want to try a new adventure activity but not too sure if this is for you? We supply quality, name branded equipment, clean, which is well maintained and in good condition because everyone deserves to use the best without paying the earth.
Taking part in outdoor adventure activities at what ever level or time of year can be a challenge in itself. With our variable weather in the Highlands of Scotland, unless you have the correct equipment you will not get as much out of it as you should. You need to be dry, warm and more importantly comfortable in the great outdoors. If you are new to an activity but have some experience it is far better to hire gear so that you see if this is the sport for you. Beg, borrow or…. If you are new to the game do not spend hundreds of pounds on in-appropriate gear just to come on a course with us. But you will need to come with appropriate outdoor personal clothing – we do not provide this.
The western fringes of the Highlands of Scotland contain some of the most magical marine & coastal paddling areas as well as majestic rivers northern Europe has to offer.
From a short paddle on the local Loch Linnhe or Caledonian Canal to multi day adventures, an open canoe or sea kayak is the way to experience them all. The River Lochy, the Caledonian Canal for the new Great Glen Canoe Trail through Loch Lochy and Loch Ness to Inverness - are all available to explore. This is not to mention the endless acres of inland lochs – such as Loch Sheil and Arkaig. If you are not too happy about "going off" on your own but still want to do your own thing, then we can hire you all the usual gear plus a guide to make sure that you are safe on a daily rate.
Need a suggestion? Give us a call. We are more than happy to advise on a suitable paddling journey to fit your groups' individual needs. For your own safety we require some evidence of prior experience. Our local knowledge will open up many options for all levels of independent paddling as well as giving long standing local expertise and information.
We can talk about paddling almost as well as doing it!
