Loch Leven was the programmed paddle for this week. With Allan and
Ken still recovering from the Oban - Fort
William trip at the
weekend and 2 beginners - Lorna (Ken's daughter) and Colin M - we elected for a
short relaxing paddle. Weather conditions were fine with calm waters and little
wind, but overcast. We set of from the shingle beach at Lochside Cottages in
Ballachulish and paddled out round Eilean Choinneich and on to Eilean Munde. We
stopped here to view the burial ground - fairly extensive but unfortunately
somewhat overgrown and unkempt. We also saw seals basking on one of the small
islands and either 3 herons, or the same heron 3 times, but with the light already fading we then headed straight back and
rapidly packed up as the midges descended.
A
pleasant gentle evening kayak.
