Good to know there's some other canoeists as nuts as me out there, & by nuts I mean able to appreciate the outdoors even in a blizzard. Must be magic up at Loch Lomond right now I spent 4 days up on Clairinch on my todd about 3 weeks ago & I thoroughly enjoyed it. I've camped on three of the islands before but not the wallaby one did you see any of the little critters? I'm convinced I caught a glimpse of one, as I paddled past, it darted into the wood, very dark in colour as I remember - I thought they were grey!
I lived at Auchincruive for 2 years so I know the area quite well - just wish I had canoed more of it. Did the water board ever reduce the flow of the river doon? I remember there being a big hoo haa on SOTP a while back.
Thanks for the reply tom I'll keep an ear to the ground but if you get wind of any trips would you mind dropping me a message? it would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Martin.
