Ken, Liz, Paul & Allan met at Loch Moidart for this
weeks evening paddle. Put in was at the
old stone jetty on the North side around an hour after low tide, and this gave
just enough water to paddle out, and a nice full loch for the return. The group passed various islands spotting
both a playful seal and an otter en route as well as herons and other sea birds,
before turning in to Dorlin just after Castle Tiaoram and paddling up to the
outlet for the River Sheil against a Southerly wind. The return proved a little more tricky to
navigate as dusk arrived early on the dull night making it difficult to discern
land from islands, nevertheless they made it back to the cars prior to official
sunset just after 10pm. It seems as
though we are now heading for winter again……
Our route......

descend the River Sheil next month in a sea kayak.
