Loch Ettrick - An Endurance Swimmer Training

24 Jul 2013

275

Our first stop. We picked up our daughter from school and straight way high tailed it up through England, over the border to Loch Ettrick in the Forest of Ae, Dumfries. Aiming to remove ourselves from cilivilisation as soon as reasonably possible. Next morning was overcast with a soft drizzle but this did not dampen the gentle beauty of the loch.

From Loch Ettrick we moved on North, round Glasgow and the grockle traps of Loch Lomond, across Rannoch Moor to Glen Etive. The warm damp atmosphere was absolute heaven for the midges so out came the ‘Avon Skin So Soft’ in an effort to even the balance. This was the first time we had tried this remedy, which did stop them nibbling but did not deflect the regiments of the wee beasties.
