Farewell Tour of The Highlands Spring 2010




Back from my 4th and possibly final Scottish paddling trip in as many years.  Yes,  just like the Rolling Stones I'm commencing a farewell tour with the odd  'comeback'  thrown in at selected venues.

Will let these images tell their own tale, especially for those unfamiliar with long distance paddling ...



On a plus point, the sleeping arrangements were spacious...






and while our accommodation may appear basic...










... the car park was a breeze.






...a welcome breeze!






Curiously Glen Etive's micro climate remains a stranger to global warming!

Not that the locals seemed bothered.





On the rivers; despite inspecting...





 
and good use of hand signals...







we still managed some interesting lines...






                                                                                                                                                                                     








but great teamwork pulled us through.






So do I look forward to a comeback?



As the Stones would say: 

"You can't always get what you want, but if you try, sometimes, you might find you get what you need." 

Or perhaps more appropriately:   


                         "   We piss anywhere man  "
