KILCHURN CASTLE BY CANOE | Loch Awe 

Many thanks.

Thanks so much. I appreciate it.

Thanks Martin 👍🏻

I'm so pleased that you liked the video. For me its about inspiring and sharing great stories, enjoying the environment and staying fit enough to keep getting out there!

Thank you Laurie for putting up with me! Slow paddling, always behind and often cantankerous!!! - A great trip which I simply could not have done with out you.

@@divum cantankerous?????? Must have been someone/somewhere else.....????

Thank you, Lee. I appreciate the positive feedback. Quite a lot of work in editing...but fun to make.👍🏻🛶🚴🏼

Exactly! Thanks for watching.

Thanks. Appreciate it👍🏻

We parked at Torran Bay, furthest southern point. We enquired at the hostel (which I believe is not running/open) and there was an elderly woman there who owned the land and boat yard. We explained our plan and she allowed us to camp the first night next the Jetty and park the car with trailer for 4 nights for a small payment. Parking and security are always a consideration.

......loch waters, sorry

Oh yes, a sort of aurora or should that be "Awe-rora"!

Or...Aurora Awe- realis???? We can keep this going!! 🙂@@divum

Thank you David. It was a wonderful trip. I hope the 3 videos did the beauty justice. I can't wait to go back next year 🛶🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤞

Thanks Tim. First, I appreciate your views and comment. We parked the car at Torran Bay where the land owner (an elderly woman) fleeced me of £56! She demanded £10 per night parking AND £3 per canoe launching!!!. This is a fact. I chose to pay because after 12 hours driving and it being night, the whole plan could have been compromised if we had elected to move on. Be aware that access to the loch from the roads is very limited. It was September and unfortunately there were many midges on the first evening however not too bad on the islands. Perhaps the fire smoke, wind and repellent all worked to keep them away. ATB for your trip👍🏻🛶

In (very) slight mitigation of the parking costs as Andrew mentions, it was secure and away from public access, and excellent access/egress to the loch for the start and finish. The property (Torran Bay Hostel) is up for sale, so the situation may change by the date of your trip. I'm just grateful Andrew could do a bank transfer that night!!! 🙂 Going in the spring may help minimise any midge problem, but take a head net in case!

Thank you for the valued information, most appreciated.

Loch Awe Monster!!😄 I think it's no coincidence that the log was there!!

WOT??😲 The monster wasn't real???😱........and I was there....... I blame it on the scrumpy.....

Cheers!
