13th of October
October Hols are upon us which means trips have to be organised to avoid serious indolence…Here we are boarding the Sir Walter Scott for a sail up Loch Katrine.
But its not all fun and games because we have to cycle back to civilisation…
Leaving Trossach Pier…
The vessel is a proper steam ship built in the late 1800s.. here is the engine…
These peaks are grandly known as the Trossach Alps…
Looking south down the Loch from Stronallachar where the boat drops us off for a 14 mile cycle back down the loch..
The island where of Sir Walter’s epic poem Lady of the Lake is set
Beth was the first to get back to base camp..
