Day 1, Saturday: Up sharpish and across to Loch Ken, car and canoe packed read to go the night before. Taking the ‘Old Town Jack’ for me and Michael in his inflatable outboard. Wants to get it registered at Loch Ken and he’s getting lazy and doesn’t want to paddle! The idea is to drop me at St John’s or the bridge just upstream (whichever is easiest to put in at) and paddle down the River Ken to one of the islands near Little Kenmure Loch (about 5.5 miles). Reckon that’ll take me 3-4 hours to get down.
After dropping me off, Michael’s heading to the public slipway next to the Holiday Park and coming up to the island in his boat, and most of the kit!! Hopefully not too much time difference between the two. Setup camp on the island, spot of fishing maybe and find somewhere for the Crayfish pots for the evening.
Day 2, Sunday: Leisurely breakfast and packup, followed by paddle down to either Green Island or Blackwater of Dee opposite the Holiday Park. Probably stay here for the remainder of the time with more fishing, Crayfish and anything else. Possibly a little day trip down the Loch if we’re feeling energetic, doubtful then! Also means we’re nice n close to the car for leaving on the Monday/Tuesday.
