Boating

A couple of weeks ago saw some good freinds of mine get married over in Oban on the west coast, an amazing wedding day followed by a big sunday sea kayak trip for a seafood lunch. This led in to a quiet week at work and so set me free to do some more boating. First of all in the kayak on the Garbh Ghaoir up at Rannoch Station a real wilderness trip, and then a open boat trip from Pitlochry 20km down to Dunkeld with the canoe club.

 Happy Couple
