A Scottish get-away

Halloween is my birthday. Yes, I’m a witch! And what better way to celebrate than a quick mission to Scotland with about 45 friends / friends-of-friends?

With only a few days to spare (and one of them spent in A&E after an unfortunate, comedy-yet-totally-sober incident with a Giant Jenga set) we bagged only a few runs but I still managed to add a tick to my list with a lovely run down the Kiachnish.

But what trip to the Fort William area would be complete without the obligatory Etive day? There’s a reason this river is such a classic…

Matt Bostock… but wezzit? Answers on a postcard…

Hammer on Triple 2.

It was fantastic to catch up with so many old paddling buddies. That’s what makes paddling great really isn’t it? Your mates. So cheers to mine who helped me celebrate my birthday with a good mix of boating, float shenanigans and fancy dress! And rightfully took the mick for my Jenga brick incident…
