What a tremendous experience, from initial contact, to waving us off at the end of the 3 days Richard and the team at Red River were exemplary. Myself (some paddle experience) and my sister (no paddle experience in the last 35 years) booked a 3 day canoe and camp expedition on Loch Awe with Richard and it was so well organised and equipped, we wanted for nothing. At every stage, we felt that Richard was an expert in his field and over the 3 days, we could certainly tell that his is also a coach with lots of experience, as our confidence and ability grew. For us, the camping element was a huge part of the trip, and he gave us some great tips to get the best out of our gear. As for Loch Awe, what a stunning setting, with four seasons in the space of an hour, I would advise waterproofs (It was October!) We left on the last day, thinking of what we could do next with Red River, but also myself, with a confidence to tackle something similar myself (on a smaller scale.) I would heartily recommend any of Richards trips, and will likely book again!
