This morning David arrived bearing gifts. Who doesn't like
pain chocolate? We sat in Marge for a while discussing weather, tides,
kayaking/pack rafting, and as the wind was not favourable today the options for
getting out on the water. It was decided that Killin would be the best choice
as the river Dochart flows into LochTay there and the trees alongside the river
would provide some shelter from the wind.
Angela hadn't felt well when she went to bed the night before, and this morning she still had a headache. By the time she'd travelled to Killin sitting in the backseat of David's car she felt terrible, and upon arrival at the car park vomited. Nice. She decided to give the practical side of the day a miss.
John however launched into the windy conditions and paddled along the river towards Loch Tay, stopping to look at a beaver lodge on one of the small islands.
Evidence of their presence could be seen on nearby trees
where they'd sharpened their teeth. High in the sky, Angela spotted an eagle,
riding the thermals before disappearing back towards the mountains.
Tomorrow will be our last day on the course. Heavy rain is
forecast for our paddle over the rapids. Grade one for Angela please, she can
be a little sicky you know!
