Just get out there and enjoy yourself
Me (in the back) in the middle of lochness, a few years ago in the april, on a canoe expedition.
MudRat:
That looks great and a long paddle from Devon
Devon-Rover:
lol. :lol:
That was when i was at college doing a FD in Adventure Education Management.
We paddled from Fort William and planned to get to inverness following the Caledonian canal.
Took 3.5 days to get to the end of lochness. Where the weather turned really rubbish and the wind managed to cause a 4 ft swell and dumped us on the beach at lochend. It was at this point kanckerd we decided to call it a day. after all when you can get two of those lashed together to plane and surf a wave you know your pushing your luck.
Two other's decided to carry on by themselves and spent a fair bit of time in the drink, and got washed onto the shore.
It's amazing how the previous evening we were fighting 2 - 3 ft swell about half way along near Foyers and it took two of us using a High brace to keep the boat upright as we had to cross the loch to get to a suitable campsite, and once got it broadside to the waves, Cue one boat at 25 degrees.
Ahhh i still want to go do it again. Never had soo much fun. 8)
MudRat:
looking forward to getting out there/
