Just Allan, Cathy & Mal hit the water tonight as lots of
the regular sea paddlers are away at the moment, although not away together as
far as we understand!
Cathy was in FW, but her boat was in Kinlochleven, so a last
minute change of plan was agreed to move the paddle location from Arisaig to
Ballachulish in order to get more time on the water. Loch Leven
is also Mal’s home ground when it comes to paddling, even though he doesn’t
stay there anymore.
Put in was at the slate built net stores at S. Ballachulish where there is a very short pebble
beach. It was an ebb tide, so the group
skirted the burial isle then headed East, hugging the Southern coast of the Loch up to & through the Coalasnacon narrows. They then turned & cut into the stream
& roughly hugged the Northern coastline before crossing back over to the
put in, moments before the sun went down & the rain started.
There was a dearth of wildlife spots, just like last week.
There was little wind, and the loch was flat calm for a lot
of the time, albeit in an ebbing tide.
It was one of those evenings when it could really be appreciated how
lucky we are to have all of this on our doorstep!
Lovely calm evening
Just back in time!
