The weather was so good yesterday that I just had to get outside. I still have an injury in my achilles tendon though so hillwalking was off the cards. Carron Valley on the mountain bike seemed like the answer then…
The plan was to take our new kayaks out on Loch Lomond to visit Inchcailloch island for our first trip in them together. When we arrived at Balmaha though the water was looking pretty choppy, too choppy for a couple of amateur kayakers…
