[JAG009]

Me and a few of the lads had a wee trip out to Loch Eck this weekend ,arriving friday, Nagual (Mark) met us and showed us a good put in spot for the canoes and told us the good spots for camping ,cheers for that Mark !
Here are a few pics

The Loch was a joy to paddle, and we got to our camp spot in about an hour

Me and Coln18 set up His Baker tent first ,a good place to retreat to if the midges come out to play

My set up for the weekend

What looked like an old croft hidden away in the woods

The rest of the guys joined us on the saturday morning

Thanks very much to big Tony for sorting this trip out this weekend and a huge thanks go to Mark for driving along from his house to show us the the best place to put the noos into the Loch. Had a fantastic weekend with the guys and great to see Tony's brother Peter who i hadnt seen since we all did the Arctic exped a few years ago. Weather was fantastic the whole weekend, the midgies must have been away on their summer holidays cause they hardly bothered us all weekend, only minus point was the lack of wind on the way home as me and Jason had planned to lash the canoes together and raise the windpaddle for a speedy trip home, but alas was in the wrong direction. But as usual non stop story telling and lots of laughter. Huge thanks also to Marks better half Tina, who sorted me out with a wee magic pill as for the first time i came down with a huge case of Man fever (otherwise known as hay fever), never ceases to amaze me the kindness shown by people on here....

Hey folks glad you enjoyed your weekend in my front garden and that the midgies were not too bad. It was nice to put some more faces to names on here.
