Hi bcuk,
Has anyone canoed down the river Tay that could give me some advice?
For a while I have wanted to go for a proper wild camping trip down a river in Scotland & the Tay seems like the obvious choice. I have canoed down several level 3/4 rivers & that was no probs so I want to tackle something more major. I was thinking of starting off in one of the rivers feeding the Tay like the Tummel because as I understand you can canoe the whole Tay in a day, correct me if I'm wrong. I don't have any mates with canoes & I don't fancy doing it on my own so is their anyone out there thinking of doing a similar trip who would consider accompaning me? would be good for transport - one vehicle at the start other at the finish.
Also I need to get some boyancy aids for the bow & stern of my canoe does anyone know of a quality set for not too much cash? or even a good diy alternative!
My canoe is a 15 ft GRP apache. I was thinking of going on this trip in the next month or two & any suggestions are welcome & very much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Martin
