Tues Eve paddle 25th May Loch Leven
A nice fine evening with an easterly breeze to keep the midges away.
Only five took to the water, Ken, Steve, Dave, Clair & Paul. We had a gentle paddle across to the burial isle then along to the river Coe against the breeze and as far up as we could go on the high tide. Then we followed round the shore to the boat house below the Glencoe Lochan - a long time since I have seen it - not a dilapidated shed but a "des res". Back across the loch and along to the launch site just down from Callert House. 6.3 km.

Loch Leven
Following the unfortunate weather related cancellation last week, Liz, Ken, Chris, Colin M & Allan met at Loch Leven tonight for the first of this years Tuesday night paddles.
The forecast was looking grim with expected 25kt NW gusts but it didn't actually come to that. Like the day, the evening was a mix of bright and overcast and fortunately the rain stayed away just long enough to get packed up afterwards.
The paddle left Ballachulish moving round the bay, up the River Coe a wee bit before going back out into Loch Leven and crossing to the burial Isle just before sun down.. The evening became cold very quickly. Hopefully spring will have arrived by next week, but the midges can stay away a bit longer!
