Useful Links and/or Updates
The alternative launch with better parking and public toilets found in the centre of Machrihanish (NR 636 207 is recommended now, please consider using this. If choosing to start/finish at Uisaed (NR 627 207) then it is near a bird observatory, please try not to disturb any birds when launching/landing.
The landing and beach at Innean Glen is very tide and conditions dependent; it can be a rocky landing and will always have a potential for surf.
Machrihanish is a popular surf beach for some additional fun.
