28 July -Tuesday paddle Loch Linnhe

A good turn out, Paul,Tina, Tracy Chris, Naomi, Oliver, Peter, Charlotte, Ken  & Liz.
From the picnic site we went north to Corrychurrachan (not a lot happening here) then to the Black Rock - no seals! Weather slightly damp and flat calm, ideal for the midges but not at sea. We headed across to Inverscaddle Bay and then as far as we could up the river, needs a spring tide to get to the road bridge. Drifted back down the river and after a brief stop to conquer Eilean nan Gal back to the picnic site

July 21st Tues Eve paddle - Balnagowan

"July 21st Tuesdays evening paddle from Cuil Bay out to Eilean Balnagowan.

Eight paddlers from the Club, Paul Biggin, Ron Cameron Tracy Jeffrey,
Naomi,Charlotte and Peter Hatto, Oliver Millington and Colin T made the trip
out to Eilean Balnagowan. Despite the recent poor and unpredictable weather
we had a fine evening paddle, nearly summer like! Sunshine, dramatic
darkening skies and Ron chasing rainbows to guide us back to Cuil Bay. Lots
of seals were seen around the island and a few caught a brief sighting of an
otter."

4th July Club Trip Oich and Garry

 Last Saturday saw a record 10 folk set off down the River Oich on a Nevis Canoe Club trip.  Lindsay, Cat, Seonaid, Andrew, Bridget, Kate, Jacob, Colin, Martin and Simon all launched into the canal and paddled to the top of the river at the outflow from Loch Oich.  Initially excitement was provided by the weir at the start of the river.  Successfully negotiated by all it was time to tackle the riffles and rapids of the river.  One small mishap, and a couple of hours later saw us arrive in Loch Ness.

After a sumptuous afternoon tea at the Invergarry House Hotel, Ali joined the group for a run down the River Garry.  Whilst some of the group chose the scenic route along the bank, others decided to swim the river, with the remaining group members deciding to stay in their boats - a true multisport day!

Loch Nan Uamph

In the end the 9 went out on a fine warm "Summer" evening, a few showers to
start with and some fresh gusts blowing through.
Loch nan Uamh , Paddled round the shore into Loch Beag and along shore line
returning to the cars at 2130. Lots of seals spotted in and out of the
water. Bonus was NO midges when we got out thanks to the breeze.
