Nice one. I was hoping to bump into Paul at the Moot, I even took the Tramp Camping book to return as I was sure he was going. It is back here again until our next meeting. Loch Lomond looks fine, apart from the midgies!

Less of the old, Steptoe!

A fantastic trip and many great memories, including the eagles circling high above us at the north end, the osprey snatching at the water a few metres in front of me, Andy on his island with the lone bush and taking a swim in the Loch, that was cold :eek: .

Sounds like you all had a hoot.

Cracking photos Singeblister.
A wee tip for canoe photography is that you can rotate full-res pics to fix the horizon in image editing software. You have to then crop the picture a bit but....
....hang on, the wonkiest horizon is taken from land:rolleyes:. Ho, hum, the process is good for whisky-induced wonkyness too.;)
