The Canoe Boys: The First Epic Scottish Sea Journey by Kayak
独木舟男孩:第一个史诗般的苏格兰海上之旅,皮划艇
Alastair Dunnett
阿拉斯泰尔·邓内特
"It's too late in the year!" they were advised, but they still did it. By canoe from Bowling to Kyle of Lochalsh with numerous stops along the way, Alastair Dunnett and Seamas Adam spent a heady Autumn in the 1934 meandering up the glorious West Coast of Scotland. On their way they sent reports back to the Daily Record informing the readers of their progress and the people they met along the way. Their account makes fascinating reading as they were hailed by onlookers and bystanders wherever they went as 'The Canoe Boys'. Escapades as varied as running the infamous tide-rush of the Dorus Mhor to a balmy harvest working on Calve Island off Mull, quenching their thirst with a mug of drammach (oats and water) are related in superb, lyrical style by Dunnett. This is an adventure story of youthful exuberance and of how life once was lived before the war changed everything for ever. Fully illustrated with archival material and contemporary press cuttings, this cult travelogue will find a new market among the growing number of adventure kayakers taking to Scotland's coastal waters. This new illustrated edition has an introduction by Dunnett's son, Ninian who has also supplied a full glossary and notes on each chapter.
“太迟了!” 他们被告知了,但他们仍然做到了。乘独木舟从保龄球到Lochalsh的Kyle,途中有许多停靠站,Alastair Dunnett和Seamas Adam在1934年度过了一个令人陶醉的秋天,蜿蜒于光荣的苏格兰西海岸。他们在途中将报告发送回《每日记录》,以告知读者他们的进步以及沿途遇到的人。当他们以“独木舟男孩”的身分前往任何地方时,被旁观者和旁观者称赞,使他们的阅读引人入胜。逃逸的方式多种多样,例如让臭名昭著的Dorus Mhor赶往在Mull附近的Calve Island上收获的温和的收成,并用一杯德拉玛(燕麦和水)来解渴,这与Dunnett的精湛抒情风格有关。这是一个充满青春活力的冒险故事,它讲述了战争之前的生活曾经如何改变了一切。这场备受赞誉的旅行社将充分利用档案资料和当代新闻剪报加以说明,它将在越来越多的冒险皮划艇运动员前往苏格兰沿海水域中找到新的市场。这个新的插图版有邓尼特的儿子Ninian的介绍,他还提供了完整的术语表和每章的注释。
