Day Paddle on Loch Lomond with Alan Lindsay - 15-10-11

AS usual, it's a surprise request from Alan to see if I fancied a wee paddle on the 'Loch' - surprise?... Yea, as it's usually the day before we are due on the water that the request comes :-) ... either via e-mail or phone txt :-)
No problem that, and makes for either an 'Aye,' or a 'Naw,' answer.
So, it was an aye and we met at Millarochy Bay for a wee quickie round our favourite islands and up through the 'Narrows'.

Here I show 'where we are' on Inchconnachan in 'Lady Colquhoun's summer house which is now in a dilapidated state after vandals opened it up to the elements to finish the job.

Jo Thomson painted this 'Muriel' in 2002 (yes I know it's Mural, but bare with me) and should be spared the fate that awaits the rest of the building.

Aye, it could do with a wee lick a paint and a wee nail in here and there.

Alan has claimed Loch Lomond as his.. :-)

Me with my big jacket on, am a 'Reedchillcheater' see what I did there?

There was a boat race on the Loch while we paddled past so we tootled over for a swaatch.. we lost.

Say no more
