Scotland



Well I didn't think I would be posting photos of Scotland when I left Ireland. The plan was to go straight to Norway, but we missed the ferry(lets just say there was a passport involved and leave it at that!) and there was no space on the next one. So there we were in Newcastle it was raining and we had six days to play with only one thing to do get are asses in gear and get up to Fort William.
We drove as far as the Falls of Falloch and had a park and huck session there the following morning, the river was too low to run so we headed to the Etive.

Levels were low but with a couple of hours rain the Nevis came up. We got a good run in and had some fun messing around on the last drop.

Colin Irvine came up from Edinburgh for a paddle on the Etive and a run on the middle Orchy. We stayed in Colin's flat for the weekend making the most of the Fringe Festival by going to Andrew Maxwell. On the Saturday he brought us biking on his local trails in Glen tres which has some of the best trails I've ever ridden.
