Argonauts of the Western Isles

Robin Lloyd-Jones has been exploring the enchanting west coast of Scotland in his sea kayak for more than fourty years. Here he takes us on many a memorable expedition to wild and beautiful shores. Amongst magnificent scenery and ever-changing seas, we are transported to Juram Scarba, the Garvellach Isles, Mull, Staffa, the Treshnish Isles, the Monach Iskes, Iona, Lewis and the Uists, Skye, the Orkney Islands and the Shetland Islands.Along the way, the author tells us a great deal about kayaking, about the wildlife and the history of the srea but, more than that, he makes us feel that we are with him in his kayak.This is a book to set the imagination adrift and appeal to the Robinson Crusoe in all of us; a book for those seeking wider horizons, be their vessel an armchair or kayak.
