5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining, well written kayaking adventure, 3 Mar 2000

By	Robert Hardie "Rob Hardie" (Essex, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is an exciting account of Brian Wilsons kayak journey around Scotland. In reading this you are taken with him on the voyage experiencing the highs and lows, meeting all of the interesting characters and joining in the hilarious situations that occur periodically. This is thoroughly entertaining and an enjoyable read. I have read my copy 7 or 8 times now and still enjoy it. Highly reccommended

5.0 out of 5 stars Blazing Paddles, 10 Jan 2005

By A Customer

This is a fantastic book for anyone, whether you're a kayaker or not.

Brian Wilson appears to be a natural author - it was his first book. It reads fluidly and quite poeticly. It's a real page-turner.

He writes from the heart and very honestly. The book covers an amazing adventure, from the initial idea right through to the end. During his journey around the coast of Scotland he experiences intense highs and lows in the course of his adventure. Blissful moments through to depression and near-death!

The book also gives you interesting snap-shots of local folklore and history which is hard to find elsewhere. He gives his own thoughts on the environment and our treatment of it.

For me, it was a totally absorbing read, and some of the paddling he undertakes is truly extreme! It's a fantastic story. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars interesting, funny and well accounted epic journey, 21 April 2000

By A Customer

An incredibly detailed description of the scottish coast as seen from a kayak. It brings to attention various envioromental problems but still has its hilarious moments, and underlying sense of adventure. It would make great reading even if you don't like the sport.
