Trip to Loch Lomond ( PIC HEAVY )

[Singeblister]

I recently went on a 6 day trip to Loch Lomond with Andywink and pjmcbear, I thoroughly enjoyed it , weather wasn't great midges were bad up north but wow what a place , Just wanted to share a few of the pictures i took , and Thanks to Andy for Paying for the fuel for the full trip.
Me having a go on the old Pipe

Andy looking like he should have been in the film Deliverance lol

I like this one sums up the trip for me

Nice view as the sun went down at one of the camps

Paul catching some zzzzz

And pulling a perch out of the loch with a spinner

Some bits of my kit looking nice I think

A friendly swan checking out the canoe

MIDGEI attack

And finally some nice views

Nice one. I was hoping to bump into Paul at the Moot, I even took the Tramp Camping book to return as I was sure he was going. It is back here again until our next meeting. Loch Lomond looks fine, apart from the midgies!

Less of the old, Steptoe!

A fantastic trip and many great memories, including the eagles circling high above us at the north end, the osprey snatching at the water a few metres in front of me, Andy on his island with the lone bush and taking a swim in the Loch, that was cold .

Sounds like you all had a hoot.

Cracking photos Singeblister.
A wee tip for canoe photography is that you can rotate full-res pics to fix the horizon in image editing software. You have to then crop the picture a bit but....
....hang on, the wonkiest horizon is taken from land. Ho, hum, the process is good for whisky-induced wonkyness too.
