Jumping the Gullies in Gweedore
Selkie Sailing DO NOT recommend this activity for their clients. The big jumps are being done by lads who have been practicing for a very long time and are experienced... PLEASE know we do not recommend this AND dont think you should just run off to do this activity, they practiced with smaller jumps and progressed, and they have been doing this for a few years IT WAS NOT easy. PLEASE watch our Health and Safety Video, this highlights how to be safe when playing around in the water!
