After the normaal bit of instrcution and practice we moved south from the beach to the entrance of the river. It was extremely shallow on both branches but everyone coped well and we managed to get well above the bridge.  We then exited and made for the beach on the north end of Inchtavvanch where we had lunch.

03-IMG_4341After lunch we paddled back to seagull island to practice seal launches. These proved very popular with the younger particpants.
