Day 6 Friday – Return to Mallaig by Garry Bunting
LCC Scottish Trip Day 65, Friday 28th July
The Friday paddle was a short, uneventful, one to finish before the forecast ‘bad weather’ arrived. We set out from the ‘Stag / Sandy’ beach on Sandaig Bay, Knoydart and paddled around into the narrows across the mouth of Loch Nevis. Then along the North facing coast and into Mallaig landing by the cars, which was much easier than launching as it was now low tide so the small beach was exposed. The whole paddle lasted about 2 hours.
After unpacking and stowing the boats and gear we repaired to the Mallaig Fishermen’s Mission Cafe for a well-earned fish and chips (or just chips vegetarian option) lunch. We then drove down to stay at the Rucksack Club hut near Ballachullish for showers etc., and an end-of-trip group meal, to finish off a great ‘adventure’ in great company.
With many thanks to everyone and particularly Catriona for organising and Ian for leading,
