Canoe on Loch Maree

Another beautiful day...

Nowhere better for a paddle than Loch Maree. We set off from the Forestry Commission car park (NG888721), across the kilometre or so of open water, to the most beautiful islands of Loch Maree.

Crossing from Slatterdale to the most northerly island Eilean Ruairidh Mor

We spent the day exploring the bays, lagoons and woodlands - wild and unspoiled - a privilege to be here...

Setting off from Glen Feshie - it was chilly - before the sun had a chance to peep over the hills...  Off we go! Jim - Setting off near Auch...
