    Look like you had a great time !

    How heavier was your package ?

    I like camping on the coast as well but where I live there are too much people on the beach ... I also have difficulties at finding woods for the fire, forest along the coast are not so common.
    English isn't my mother tongue so pliz correct me if i'm wrong, thx !

    Thanks for the comments guys, it was a great trip, all be it a slow exploration of the Lochs and a chance to play with toys (Axe's dutch ovens fishing "stuff") and fire.

    We did eat like kings, it was a holiday after all .

    As for the weight, well lets just say HEAVY! We did not have to carry the kit far and the canoes could handle it.

    One day we may go light weight, well light weight in our books any how.....

    Cheers
    Tim

    Reading that and seeing the photos was simply delicious. What an epic holiday; exactly the sort of thing I dream of doing one day. I'm sure it's something you'll all remember for a very long time. Epic.

    I was reading this on my phone and didn't realise it was an NBC blog. I thought I was on Song of the Paddle (SOTP). Have you thought of joining that great group as well?
