?????Holy Isle Challenge 2024?????Arran Kayak Club supported by Otter’s Tail are running a paddle sports challenge on Arran on the 13th of July this year. The 11km route starts in Lamlash and will take participants round the Holy Isle. The race starts at 12.00, permitting travel from the mainland in the morning, and is open to all seaworthy craft including SUP’s. You could make it a day trip or make a holiday of it and enjoy even more of the island of Arran.
The ethos is for a fun day out and, whilst there will be a race element to the day, the emphasis will be on everyone safely completing the challenge. The event is open to all aged fourteen and over in single person craft and over tens in double boats. It is a family friendly event, but all participants should be comfortable in winds up to force four.
After a 2km crossing the route will take you around Holy Isle where you will see fascinating rock formations and abundant wildlife. Holy Isle, which is a Buddhist retreat, is home to feral Eriskay ponies, Sameen goats and Soay sheep as well as abundant marine and bird life.
