Gorgeous, gorgeous scenery. Only ever been there once and that was about 40 years ago - crikes that makes me sound old !!! - I was young then, honest ! Hope there are more vids with the kayak ..... Thanks Derek x
Beautiful place, we are def going back there for another kayaking camp, we are planning kayaking the calodonian canal next your with more in between atb Derek
Good afternoon Derek watching your video again watched this 3 years ago but I was looking up kayak camping videos and your video was on the side bar so thought I will watch that again
Derek I would have been like a kid had I have been there, a place where story`s are born, what a beautiful wood cabin that would have been in it`s day and somebody`s happy memories no doubt,, what a great adventure mate Lock Lomond has been mentioned to me before it`s on the list mate, I enjoyed this Derek something different, Regards George
Thanks George, yes I enjoyed every minute of it & look forward to returning there again, it would be great to get every one there for a camp on one of the islands lol, there is one of the beaches that has a toilet block built, the one whrere the kids were & a ferry takes you ther, it could be arranged for next year, got my thinking head on lol
Derek that`s a camp in the making mate, it would be a fantastic location for a camp not that I need a toilet block that is, lol, I know every body would be up for that one, Regards George.
Well done Derek! Camping from my kayak is the best. I can get to places that are very remote and peaceful. Looking forward to part two. Take care, Ossie
Excellent start mate . The land looks beautiful from the water eh . bang on . I'd be tempted to drag a lure from the back of the Kayak , might temp abita lunch ! Thanks for sharing buddy
Thanks Luke, it's a cracking place, so big with many places to explore, yes we were talking about we wished we had took our fishing rods but next time we will,Atb,Derek

Hehe! You never let it go eh! What secret lol? By the way Derek this is a great video, nicely done my friend. Really enjoyed this trip. Best way to go island hoping Derek. Cracking!
The permanent camp spot is still up now but has had another few tents added to the group. I was in there during the summer. Didn't realise it had been going that long.
I don't know if any of you have noticed, but around 1:35 on the right side of that statue, on the bank of the island something quite large gets up and runs away, I didn't know there were actual large mammals on the island - deer? Boar? I have no idea what it was but it was bloody fast!
Yeah that's the life Derek this could be the video to get me out on the water again.What a day you got for it i think i'll try that for myself.My canoe is a bit of a tug boat compared with your svelte craft but it would probably take a tsunami to overturn it lol. Fantastic trip/video .
Thanks Eddie, the next day was even better & the stars were out in force during the nigh, it was a perfect weekend, you will def love canoeing & camping on the Islands, aye your boat will be more user friendly lol much more stable, in Prt 2 Steve brings out a wee surprise around the fire,Atb,Derek

Cheers Derek.my family are doing great.i have upgraded to a sea kayak now.have been out on it a few times now,covers the distance so much better than my little sevylor.how would you like to meet up soon for a paddle
You almost had me going at the cappuccino stop, what with the music,,canoes drawn up on the beach and unmistakeably the beacon hill in the background somebody missed their forte as a film director. Bye the way huge amounts of water are extracted from the loch and its alright for the folks in Edinburgh to drink.
