Round The Isle of Mull - new photos from RDX 2012

With over 500 photos from our time on the west coast, im sure you can image the difficulty ive had thinning down to 2o shots. I hope you enjoy and get a flavour and feeling of our journey.

We covered about 240k over the 13 days, from the start of the trip. Approx 40k covered from Strontian, on Loch Sunnart to Tobermory on Mull, with 2 days paddling. 11 days round Mull, with 4 days being to stormy or rough to go afloat, making 7 actual paddling days.

I hope you enjoy the photos ...

Crossing the Sound of Mull :)

Just South of Tobermorry ...

One of those magic moments ...

Super evening by the fire ...

An early start and calm winds ...

Amazing amount of Primroses and a super wild camp ....

Another earlier start, on the South coast, Firth of Lorn ...

Staying at home today, due to strong winds and Sonja braves the elements to cook pancakes ; 0

We had some swell left over from 2 days storms!!

Fronts moving through and bright spells ... getting closer to the Sound of Iona!

Sonja and a reflective moment ...

Its worth mentioning that neither Zoe or Shamim, had any previous camping from a sea kayak experience this was new to them and Shamim had never wild camped before. Both had some previous white water experience, while Zoe had only began sea kayaking in May 2011.

Our Rapid Development Xpedition will now be bi annual, so the next adventure will be in 2014.
