"Don't take my word for it.."

Anyone who's anyone these days...

...seems to be writing a blog about how they're getting on writing a guidebook about going kayaking.

I guess Mark Rainsley was the first one that I came across doing this, and now it seems that Cailean Macleod is at it as well, with his blog about a book about kayaking in the Nortwest Highlands.

Is this the kayaking personalities version of a celebrity reality TV show?? Are Mark and Cailean soon to appear on Celebrity Big Brother - after all, these days it seems I hardly know anyone on any of these 'celebrity' shows, so it might as well be people I know!

I think Cailean has his work cut out though, as Mark has obviously set a standard for blogging and for building expectation of the forthcoming book.

Keep up the good work guys, the world awaits...

Kayaking personality - me, no chance. I'm simply a humble Hebridean who enjoys paddling and coaching. Nothing more and nothing less ;-)

Cailean, sorry I should have used the word celebrity rather than suggesting the existence of any personality.. ;-)

Celebrity - no, no - I'm certainly on the 'Z' list rather than 'B', 'C' or 'A'......

It's great to 'spar' again. Are you coming up to Skye?

Hi all, sorry haven't replied sooner, but been off work ill and haven't bothered with internet things!

However, now that I'm feeling better it's back to the old self ;-)

Derrick, I think your recent work for Justine has made you more of kayaking celebrity than you realise!

Cailean, yep, I'll be coming up to Skye - looking forward to it. I guess you'll be there?
