Oscar Wilde said, "It's a shame that youth is wasted on the young". He was clearly wrong in your case: you are certainly making good use of yours. I'd envy you if I wasn't just about to go to my own favourite lake high in the Pyrenees.

Thanks for sharing.

Looks like you had a fine old time, Cameron, and great pics; what's the number hanging from the back of the canoe? :)

Cam, what Oldtimer says rings very true. It definitely isn't wasted on yourself. The trip report and photographs are well worth the wait. Some lovely images both mental and real in there.

Loch Shiel is a lovely spot. Great to canoe upon. Nice seeing your Tipi and stove set up. A mirror of my own, though I have a hand made witches hat on mine rather than the spark arrestor. Nice to see you were preserving the Loch side by using fallen timber and tidying up after yourself too. Looked a nicely set up camp and some of the kit looked as tasty as that bannock! (Nice knife in particular). Pity you didn't catch anything as being a piscivore is one of the delights of loch camping.

Not too sure on the fern front. Have found it to be pretty desperate fair with the added danger of it not being particularly good for you unless you suffer from worms and flukes!

Cheers for posting up, brightened up an already sunny day.

Thanks Colin mate!

I'm certainly going to give the bracken a go, although it won't be the first wild edible that made me go yuck ;).
