Blazing paddles has just been reprinted, and the local bookshops in Aberdeen are
certainly stocking copies. Blazing paddles is ** the ** most entertaining paddling
book I've read, and IMHO a better read than Dances with Waves which was pretty
good too - I couldn't recommend it more highly. Probably now be able to get a new
copy via amazon.com.

just back yesterday from a scorching trip paddling around the inner sound - Skye,
Rassay, and the Crowlins :-)
