Paddler's Meet
Message:
Another thread that's running on here about canoes/kayaks has got me thinking.....
Anyone fancy an informal 'paddler's meet'? All canoeists, kayakers, paddleboarders, boaters etc welcome!
As a starter for ten, I'm thinking Milarrochy Bay C&CC site at Loch Lomond might be suitable; You can launch direct from the campsite (about 10 feet from your van in some cases). It's free to launch kayaks, inflatables and the like. There is a charge to use their boat ramp though if you're launching your boat.
Anyone have any thoughts on this? Dates, potential venues etc?
I'm thinkg some weekend from mid September to mid October.
Of course anyone who doesn't have watercraft would be more than welcome to come along too. And it goes without saying that all water based activity is done at your own risk.

This sounds like a damned good idea! 
We wouldn't be able to make Sept / Oct this year, but I'd definitely think about next year. All I have to do is to work out how to get the thing on the roof. Either that, or buy an inflatable

That's a good idea, though it's a long way from Cornwall! We will probably going to Ireland about then but could head that way instead.
We have our own kayaks (obviously!) but is there anywhere to hire canoes and kayaks on the loch for those without them?
