The weather was good for this weeks evening paddle with a very light wind although a layer of cloud unfortunately kept the sun away. Oliver, Naomi, Chris, Colin McC and Brian M started with a paddle around the many wooded islands. It was interesting to see the completely different vegetation on the islands, with Scots Pine in abundance, in comparison with the heather moorland of the loch shores. This is what most of Scotland should really look like, and might without excesive numbers of sheep, deer and people.
From the islands we paddled over to Lettermorar, an abandoned settlement on the South shore of the loch and explored the old dwellings. We then returned to the cars by a different route through the islands. While packing up the one disadvantage of good summer weather became apparent as the midge clouds started to form around us.
