An afternoon on the River Glass


River Glass near Teanassie

An afternoon paddle on the River Glass from the dam near Teanassie.


River Glass near Aigas

It was a blustery sort of a day - the wind from the west - making it hard going in the more exposed spots along the river.

We took the eastern channel around Eilean Aigas continuing upstream towards Eskadale.

The forecast showers did not materialise and it was just a lovely paddle...

The local ospreys soared overhead, the chicks must have fledged by now.

Once past Eskadale, the river became more exposed to those pesky westerly gusts and we decided that a leisurely float downstream and through the gorge was the order of the day.

We only had to steer a course, no effort required, on our way back...

And the gorge never disappoints.

Just a gentle paddle back to the dam - we'll be back soon.

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...
