Hi all,
Just a quick note to let you know that the is now live at http://www.canoeni.com/canoe-trails/north-coast-sea-kayak-trail/
The North Coast Sea Kayak Trail is anticipated to become one of the most iconic sea kayak trips in Europe. It will stretch 70 nautical miles from Magilligan to Waterfoot along the North Coast’s rugged headlands and spectacular sandy beaches encompassing the famous Giant’s Causeway and Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge.
The trails will be officially launched in March 2012 with the ribbon cutting at the newly refurbished bothy at Port Moon near Dunseverick but we have put the information online so paddlers can begin planning their trip in advance
The waterproof guides are now available to pre-order and will be mailed out free of charge in mid October. http://www.activitybrochuresni.com/#Canoe_Trail_Guides
The travel press from Great Britain and beyond have been quick to realise the potential of the trail with several journalists queuing up to preview the route before its official launch in March 2012. Check out the published articles in our blog. http://www.outdoorni.com/blog/2011/09/21/north-coast-sea-kayak-trail-hits-the-headlines/
The information on the adjoining East Coast Canoe Trail will be available within the next month. It will begin in Waterfoot, the gateway to the Antrim Hills and Glens and continue south to Portaferry taking in an abundance of picturesque fishing villages, sea loughs and islands along the way.
These new canoe trails have been developed by the Countryside Access and Activities Network (CAAN) and add to the 7 acclaimed inland canoe trails already in existence.
