Flat Calm

A beautiful flat calm day on Loch Tay with 3 client folk. A paddle up to Fearnan and and back.

 Leaving Kenmore just after 9am 

 Heading up the north side of the Loch

My new ride! An old Vauxhall Cresta, looks like it left the road some 30-40 years ago, but who knows.

A9 Canyoning

Just had a couple of amazing days with Jon exploring two new canyons both of which go under the A9 road. The first Allt a' Chrombaidh, a tributary of the Perthshire Garry at Calvine and the second Allt Girnaig again a tributary of the Perthshire Garry this time joining at Killiecrankie.

 A liitle bit about General Wade's Bridge two photos below

Yorkshire Intruder

So last week end freinds of Helen and mine came to visit. Whilst the ladies did the coffee and sight seeing I took Ian for a play. A bit of kayaking on the upper tummel, mountain biking round the Garry gorge and Loch Faskally and some canyoning.
