Last Saturday saw a record 10 folk set off down the River Oich on a Nevis Canoe
Club trip. Lindsay, Cat, Seonaid, Andrew, Bridget, Kate, Jacob, Colin, Martin
and Simon all launched into the canal and paddled to the top of the river at the
outflow from Loch Oich. Initially excitement was provided by the weir at the
start of the river. Successfully negotiated by all it was time to tackle the
riffles and rapids of the river. One small mishap, and a couple of hours later
saw us arrive in Loch Ness.
After a sumptuous afternoon tea at the
Invergarry House Hotel, Ali joined the group for a run down the River Garry.
Whilst some of the group chose the scenic route along the bank, others decided
to swim the river, with the remaining group members deciding to stay in their
boats - a true multisport day!
