Another look at the Salmonkill

Higher water levels...

Home from Scotland and back on the water.

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.

My crossing Blog

Back to my favorite stomping grounds. Starting off Floodwood Road and doing a loop around the ponds. Also two nights out. Great weather.  Water was very low.

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.
