Before the rain, I squeezed in a few hours paddling. I checked out some group camp spots. this bit of the Loch, apart from the end through the Narrows that the river Forth flows from, is normally the calmest.
Secret Loch, quick swim to cool off here. Lots of Clegs out though.

Middle of the shot shows the narrow gap back into the main Loch. I had headed this way, upwind, to sail home. Using my BIC Pop up sail.

Mozzie net on the DD Travel Hammock kept the clegs (Horseflies) back but a few midges sneaked through. Need to source a big double bed sized midge net soon. Had a cuppa and read a book for a while, then big dark clouds came over so sailed home. Chips and Cheese and a cuppa in Aberfoyle finished off the day.
