Loch Achray Winter Meet

[Scots_Charles_River]

After October, the Forrest Drive shuts. So do less fisherman go there 'unofficially' camping ? As they would not have access except by foot.

 

[Shewie]

I got an email from the guys at the weekend and apparently the site is closing for refurb work over winter, therefore no access is available after the end of October.

I'll see if we can get in the other side of Christmas

 

[Scots_Charles_River]

We could be a bit cheeky, arrange for parking at the hotel across the loch then paddle over to the site ?

bump, bump

 

[Shewie]

It's funny you should bump this one Nick, I chased up the guy from David Marshall last week to enquire about dates, not heard anything back yet but I am on it

 

[Scots_Charles_River]

Cool, If I can make it, would like to run canoe skills sessions, to log hours for my 4 Star Leader.

Sounds good, my last canoe trip (my third ever voyage) was marred by a capsize

May is out for me as I'm on the TGO Challenge, I'll see what they're like for this month

 

[Scots_Charles_River]

I can offer -

Open Canoeing

Improvised sailing, rafting 2 or 3 or more, rescue drills, stroke development, paddling in the wind, open and closed blade paddling, J stroke that turns the boat away from the paddle side (opposite of normal J stroke).

Hi Shewie,
Belzeebob and I may be up for it if the dates are good, I'm just getting back on my feet health wise and itching to try out my new Tipi. Still OK to bring the well behaved rug fancier mutt Snoop to Achray?

Of course mate, it would be good to see you again. Can you bring a van full of wood again?

Pressure's on now to get it sorted, I'm on the case tomorrow

 

[Goatboy]

I'm sure wood can be provided, though I can't carry 'owt at the moment, so labour would need to be provided. It would be good to catch up.

Belzeebob and I are off mid week around the 21st/22nd, though he gets weekends off. Will let him know.

Anything arranged date wise yet? Cameron was asking how long till the moot. When I told him it's ages yet he asked if there are any other meets happening. Poor lad has got cabin fever real bad and needs to get out.
