A year ago today I set out to walk the Four Corners of mainland Scotland. It was a wonderful adventure!

I’ve experimented with my latest film on YouTube. It’s 360º footage of me paddling into Fingal’s Cave, Isle of Staffa at the very end of my year long journey. Using a smart phone or tablet, you can pan the footage with your fingers. Fingal's Cave, Staffa, Scotland in a Sea Kayak - 360º Film youtu.be/6h_EW_Z_jKM

I have a new video up on YouTube. Kayaking from Portree to Staffin Bay on the Isle of Skye. Filmed in February 2023 during my year long sea kayak journey around Scotland. A truly memorable day. youtu.be/z6SiQ7wXo7U?si…

Rainbow brightening the journey.

Hi folks, I hope all’s well with you. I’ve put up a new film on my YouTube channel. I hope you enjoy it. youtu.be/Tg2KOcfMQNE?si…

Attending to my inner 15 years old self. I love exploring the nooks & crannies of the coastline. I’m eternally curious, just as I was when I was a youngster. Here on the Isle of Man in my spruced up sea kayak.

@jbsnorthsky1 Thank you very much and I hope when you next visit Skye, you drop me a line so we can say hello.

@LifeAfloat Awh, Nick - exciting times ahead indeed. I remember a post a while back, you were considering. I love Skye and fortunate to visit a friend, with friends twice last year. All the way up and on the North East via Uig. Heck of a journey from Cheshire 🤣. But we had done it before.

Hi folks, here’s an exciting update regarding the LifeAfloat YouTube channel. It contains the big news - I’m moving to the Isle of Skye. After a long hiatus, I’ll be on the sea once more in my beloved kayak! youtu.be/8FsObKhKLf8?si…

@ChrisWe71443773 Thank you Chris.

@LifeAfloat Stay safe, look forward to seeing your next chapter.

@LizNorthAZ Thank you Liz,

@LifeAfloat Congratulations, Nick!

@FindTime4Xrcise Thank you Mike and I hope you can visit.

@LifeAfloat Fantastic news. Best wishes to Kerry and yourself for your future together on Skye. Happy paddling, walking, climbing and flying. I will try to join you for an adventure sometime.

@icp456 Thank you Ian.

@LifeAfloat Congratulations! Sounds like a new chapter in your life. I hope it is full of blessings and joy for you 🙂🙂🙂

@perfectrose2011 I like the idea of being a dolphin, though I often think I’d like to be an otter if I were to reincarnate. Thank you as always Wendy for your connection and friendship.

@LifeAfloat How absolutely fabulous for you. You truly are a man of the sea. Makes me wonder if in a previous life, you weren't a dolphin. (teasing you) I'm sure this new adventure will bring you bliss day after day.

@JaniceS14628781 Thank you.

@LifeAfloat Great news

@Maro2Bear Thank you Mark.

Have fun on Skye!

@MichelleU_Wood Wow! Exotic. You can make lovely art from those images.

Post sure takes a long time to arrive from Antarctica! 🇦🇶 Received today after being posted in December. Always lovely to receive a postcard though. 📮

Just me kicking back and enjoying an early spring evening on the Isle of Man. More comfortable than a plush sofa! Slainte.

@The2Margarets No I don’t. Seems like I may have been cloned. I’ll hunt them out. Thank you for letting me know.

@LifeAfloat do you have alt accounts? LifeAfloatt or LifeAfloatr? Both use your avatar and one is reposting your tweets.

Back in my element! It’s been a long year without any sea kayaking. My kayak is looking resplendent having been lovingly refurbished.
