A short video of my trip.... be gentle as it's my first attempt at a video 😬 http://youtu.be/RmTmPP_oJls

Had to say goodbye to one of my own special friends recently so I feel your pain :-( Now I need to decide where to scatter his ashes. Not easy saying goodbye.....

Sorry Rob ...... when I said 'play' that was just in my garden inflating the raft and checking it etc. Hopefully off to the Highlands in a few weeks. I am 6' tall with long legs (34.5" inseam) and Nancy at Alpacka recommended the Llama. You need to fit the boat pretty accurately so you can...

That is some dream kit. Hope you evade at least some of the customs charges on that lot :)

My recently acquired Denali Llama will be coming with me in April to Knoydart. Loch Morar / Loch Quoich / Loch Nevis area (not decided yet and it depends on the weather / wind etc). Not had a chance to use it yet :mad: .... getting the last bits of gear together. I bought it in their end of...
