Another year nearly away so fast and the last club paddle this season. No storm alert this year just a yellow heavy rain warning for Argyle & Bute!
As usual once in our boats and paddling it all felt worthwhile. Hugging the western shore we headed south to Tarbet and a lunch stop in the little pavilion by the café. Gordon supplied the mince pies.
One & half hours down but with the wind in our favour, one hour back. A little bit of surfing was possible, with Martin’s new Tiderace much quicker on the waves than the other three more traditional boats.
Thank goodness this was in the calendar as left to our own devices it would have been a day to have spent indoors and yet, having made the effort so good to have been out on the loch.
