Caledonian Canoeing
Our friends Rick and Anna have graduated from kayaking and moved on to canoeing, we thought it only fair that we test out their new toy on our local loch – you know, to check it’s safe for them before they embark on their first expedition.
We headed to Loch Oich, as the smallest and shallowest loch in the Great Glen it was calm even when the weather is less than perfect like today. We had great fun and can happily report that it is safe for them to head out on their own. It all felt nice and stable and you can get up to a good speed, we can’t wait for them to invite us on a bigger excursion.
Fancy a piece of the action? You can rent canoes on the Loch Oich from highland activities or if you have your own there is a very handy insertion point near the Well of the Seven Heads.

PS. Anyone selling a second hand canoe? – feel free to let us know!
