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.

Easter Canoe on Loch Monar (plus a few feral goats!)

Exploring Loch Monar

A chilly and grey Easter Saturday - but wrapped up warm, we spent an afternoon exploring the eastern end of Loch Monar.

Here are some pics...

Driving back through Glen Strathfarrar we happenned upon a small herd of feral goats - perfect for Jim to try out his new camera.
