2 days on the Spey

Just back from a 2 day trip on the river Spey. We accessed at Broomhill Bridge and paddled the 30ish miles down to the egress at Aberlour. The first day was fairly low, and as we settled down for the night in our hammocks the evening sun was shining, and a couple of beers were had, ready for the long second day. However after heavy rain over in the West the river had risen a foot and a half, which made the rest of the trip pretty quick.

New Canyon

An evening in Calvine Canyon, a little more exploring is needed.

Another Busy Week

Starting with a trip to The Edinburgh Highland Show, then a full on week of activities at work.

Some one tried to drive the minibus under a barrier.......turns out the barrier was to low and fiberglass roofs don't hold up that well!!!!!

Evening Rescues

Last night saw the penultimate 2 star canoe session that Biscuit, Steve Mc and myself have been running for Breadlebane Canoe Club. After weeks of mastering the skills in the canoe, it was only the wet stuff out of the canoe left, and a calm night up at Loch Tay in Kenmore was the perfect venue.

A bit of this a bit of that

A little bit of boating, some photography and a new bike, oh and some hand golf!

Glen Tilt bike ride

Today Helen and I had a fantastic ride up Glen Tilt on the Atholl Estate, it was a little cloudy but the views were still stunning. 250 metres of climb straight from the car park was a fairly brutal start, but the views and the down hill made up for that.

15 km, 250m of accent in the Atholl Estate
