Another Paddle up the River with Ant

Another lovely day on the river, low water levels and high summer weed made fishing a little awkward but we did manage to hook and lose a nice trout.

But on such a beautiful day who cares about fishing...

Paddle Orkney 11

Both Fi and myself made the long trip up north to experience the delights of paddling around Orkney. The excuse was to attend the symposium but we also spent eight days on expedition discovering this delightful place.

Up to Scotland and the wonderful digs on Crinan harbour, a beautiful house straight off the slip, George a real credit to you for organising that one. We even had time for a bit of sight seeing.
