Not a lot of paddling since last fall. mostly training for my hike across Scotland in May. Now I've had time for some short trips close to home.

Where I've been this Spring
No canoeing this Spring; I spent most of my time hiking, off road and on, getting ready for The Great Outdoor Challenge, a self mapped and supported hike across Scotland, from west to east.

| Along the Affric-Kintail Way |
This was just one of my campsites. Of fourteen nights on the road, eight were spent out, including one in a mountain bothy. I passed over first the Monadhliath Mountains and the Cairngorms, where I encountered, at least briefly, snowing conditions.

New Territory
Three days paddling and two nights out. Beautiful weather. From Low's Lower Dam, down Bog River, past the floating bog and Low's Upper Dam to Low's Lake. Found a campsite and used the second day to explore further down the lake.

Closer to Home
On August 22nd, I decided to explore a spot a bit closer to home - the Bantam River and Bantam Lake, part of the White Memorial Conservation Center, in Litchfield, CT.
Lots of birds, Canada geese and turtles, loons and a Great Blue Heron. A couple of boys contemplating a jump into the river from a low bridge span.
