Event Support

Needing help planning and running your event?

With experience and our knowledge and resources within the Scottish Highlands, we will surely be able to help you plan, run and evaluate a safe and successful event.

Paddling Events

Whether it's a canoe challenge down a Scottish river, sea kayaking race on the west coast, or just a team building day out on a Scottish loch, we have the know-how.

We are able to provide:

  • Supply boats and paddling kit
  • Provide instruction and guidance
  • Offer safety cover from land, boat or motorboat
  • First aid cover
  • Event or stage management
  • Links with local services and landowners
  • Health & safety documentation

Open Water Swimming Events

With open water swimming training and events becoming popular, we are being asked more and more to offer support for these event. Donald himself planned and swam as part of a relay team ‘Swim Loch Ness 2005' and is fully aware of the safety and logistical aspects these events require.

We are able to provide:

  • Canoe and sea kayak support
  • Motorboat safety cover
  • First aid cover
  • Route setting
  • Links with local services and landowners
  • Health & Safety documentation

Media Production Support

Over the years we have informally supported a wide range of professional photographers and film production companies to gain access to various remote parts of the Scottish Highlands. Others have used our services to gain an outdoor perspective into the beauty and see the wildlife around.

We can offer:

  • Bespoke guiding to remote sensitive areas
  • Supply of crafts and safety equipment
  • Safety support and first aid cover

Charity Fundraising Events

We admire and respect charity event organisers as most of the work is generally completed on a voluntary basis and always for a worthy cause.

If you need equipment and support for either paddling or water based activities, we are able to assist by offering preferential discounted rates to registered charities and local worthy causes. This means more funds are forwarded to your chosen charity.

We can provide:

  • Discounted services to registered charities
  • Supply boats and paddling kit
  • Provide instruction and guidance
  • Offer safety cover from land, boat or motorboat
  • First aid cover
  • Event or stage management
  • Links with local services and landowners
  • Health & safety documentation

We have already supported many events including ‘Paddle Loch Ness', ‘Swim Loch Ness' and ‘Great Glen Challenges'. A recent event included Martin Macrae's Challenge . Martin who suffers from kidney disease took to the Great Glen Canoe Trail with a team of friends and paddled the 60 mile distance over six days whilst using a mobile dialysis machine for over two hours every day outdoors. With our assistance, support and backing of this event we ensured that over a £1,000 was saved in event costs allowing over £10,000 now going to Highland Health Board Endowment Funds
