As we approach the end of September its clear been on the river and in the mountains that the days are getting shorter, the blue bird days are are still warm the but have that autumnal feel. Despite all the this its business as usual, a lovely Spey trip some canyoning and a bit of personal kayaking on the the River Etive.
