One of the lovely things about guiding expeditions is hearing what stays with people afterwards.

This comment from Ray Goodwin in his recent Paddler Magazine article meant a lot to us.

What we enjoy most about trips like these isn’t just the rivers, coastlines or campsites. It’s the people we get to share them with, and the friendships and memories that grow along the way.

We’re looking forward to returning to the Dee this November.

This is what September can feel like on the water.

Days shaped by the sea, the occasional surprise along the way, and evenings like this.

We’re heading around Anglesey as a small group - 5 days, camping along the way, and letting the conditions shape the journey.

Good paddling, good company, good food - and time to properly experience the coastline.

If it’s been on your list, this is a good one.

Last year we had the privilege of sharing the Royal Dee with the legendary canoeist Ray Goodwin

He’s now written about the journey for Paddler Magazine - capturing the river, the camps, the whitewater, the people and the atmosphere of the trip far better than we ever could.

One line that really means a lot to us:
“Great company, and I felt truly cared for.” - Ray Goodwin

If you've ever wondered what a multi-day journey on the Dee is really like, it’s well worth a read:

We're heading back to the Dee this November.

📅 2–6 November 2026

If you're curious about the trip, just drop us a message – we're always happy to chat expeditions, whitewater and life on the river.

We met up with most of the team in Braemar’s Flying Stag. This was just upstream of Braemar, and then everyone drove down to our finish at Banchory.

While Dave has been busy at the Open Canoe Association Canoefest, Lucy has been busy sharpening her camp craft skills with With Dave on their brilliant BCAB Camp Craft and Expedition Skills course.

There may be some tasty new menu options appearing on upcoming Paddle International expeditions… 👀🔥🛶

Is there a better sight than this? A field full of colourful kayaks and a weekend of shared water time ahead 🌅

We had a brilliant few days guest coaching at the Anglesey Sea Kayaking Symposium alongside an incredible team of coaches and a hugely enthusiastic group of paddlers.

The whoops, laughter, and colourful energy in the tide race sessions said it all 🌊

A lovely weekend of learning, progression, and good company on the water. Thanks to everyone who brought the energy and to all the organisers for making it happen.

Expedition food doesn’t need to be basic.

A good meal at the end of the day goes a long way - especially after a few hours on the water.

Eat well, settle in, and do it all again tomorrow.

The miles matter.

But so does this part - landing somewhere good, eating well, and watching the evening settle in.

5 days. One island.
