### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Insightfully written and full of the joys of adventure
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 November 2022*

I was slightly unsure about buying this book because, if I'm honest, I thought "self-published book, the author's first book, is it going to be readable?" but I went ahead because I've followed Nick on twitter for years and I love his positive approach to everything.But it's a brilliant read!  Gripping from the first page to the end.  I was always wanting to know what's going to happen next and somehow every day is different and Nick gives just the right level of detail for a non-kayaker to understand the nature of the decisions he has to take and the skill he has developed to tackle what nature throws at him (and how he knows when to let nature get on with it and stay in his tent).It's a bit strange reading (in this book) about him arriving on Islay back in 2015 on the same day as Nick was actually arriving (live on Twitter) on Islay on his latest adventure (which is a 365 day paddle-at-leisure around part of the Scottish coast depending on where the mood and the weather takes him).  I only got slight confused.If you enjoy real-life-adventure and want to read about how close you can get to things going badly wrong, while meeting many wonderful people he found as he paddled to every RLNI lifeboat station around Scotland this is a great book for you.Publishing houses should be looking to sign Nick up for his next book!PS - I bought the paperback version (it's also available on Kindle but who wants to spend more time staring at a screen) and I actually think the paper version is vital in this case because I found I needed to keep referring to Nick's hand-drawn maps to get a sense of how the coastal locations were connected.

    Authentic true life account of solo kayaking around Scotland
  

*by H***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 September 2022*

This book was perfect to pick and read when I had a quiet 20 minutes or so. Instantly I felt transported into a peaceful calmer place and enjoyed reading about Nick’s travels around the coast of Scotland as if I was doing it myself. Not being a kayaker but loving the sea and nature, this was the next best thing. The story came to life and has inspired me to explore more of the places that I haven’t yet seen. I found this a candid authentic account of Nick’s experience of solitude peppered with genuine social encounters with friends and acquaintances along the way. Well worth a read and supporting the RNLI is a great cause.

    Wonder what it's like to kayak round Scotlan's coast?
  

*by H***K on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 January 2023*

An inspirational & evocative account of a journey, in terms of both the physical and mental aspects of kayaking around Scotland's coastline, an epic trip of around 2000 miles!  A test of endurance and achieved through meticulous planning and attention to detail.  There were moments when pride and determination pushed past what some might deem to be sensible actions, but that is part of the appeal perhaps for both Nick Ray and readers?
