Loch Lomond Over-nighter

Went for our overnight stop at Loch Lomond instead of the full blown Great Glen II trip. Had to cancel the full trip due to work/house moving etc. etc. Pretty much anything that could happen to stop us did so figured there was something telling us not to go!!

Got Chris out on the canoe as well this time, first time on any kind of open(ish) water. We were planning on heading to 'Fishy Island' (aptly named because of it's shape!) but once we got across to the big island next to it found a good spot out the way and setup camp there. Meant we had a bit more time to drink the cocktail of Ginger Wine, Vodka, Bells and Stella!

Got all three camps up and ready to go.. with a bit of teaching for Chirs on how to tie a knot! He'll have to practice that for the Great Glen. With that all sorted on went the fire and drinking. Michael slotted back in to 'Mam' particularly easily with his Chicken Tikka Kebabs which were awesome and freshly made Japatis (maybe how you spell it).

More drink and plenty of hours later we all got to bed and slept pretty well. The new underblanket made from 2 sleeping bags worked well. Nice n warm. Chris wants one made up now. Got the fire going again and had breakie before packing up. Getting everyone back across was interesting as it meant a single trip for me back across to pickup Chris. Took a bit of doing but good fun!

Now just need to replan in the proper trip.
