October 2016 - Week away with the family

After doing the audax run the Sat before last and then out with Caleb on the Sunday, I had the week off work and along with Heather and Caleb we journeyed south to Loch Lomond for a few days r&r at the inlaws. No bikes unfortunately but we did take the canoe
It was originally planned to take the camping gear and do a bit of canoeing and a bit of camping but due to Heather having a chest infection the week before and Caleb only just over a bad cold it was decided not to camp, just paddle.
Well that wasn't such a bad choice as the later part of the week was, pish, as in pishing doon
We did get a couple of paddles in, just lightweight, no real gear like usual, just the bare minimum (and snacks ) so Caleb got to try his new seat and Heather got to use her newest paddle. We dodged a few showers when we were out and once as I was unstrapping the canoe at Balmaha, the heavens opened, so it was left on the roof while we ate at the hotel. I filled my disappointment with cake.
It was a good few days away, Mon to Sat, spent catching up with friends, paddling ( a bit )and me doing the rounds of Tiso, Dales, etc along with a few other canoe and bike shops.
