Canoeing Across Scotland: The Great Glen, A Dad, Daughter and Dog Adventure. Day 3 and 4 4K

Canoeing the Great Glen and Caledonian Canal in Scotland.
With my daughter Maya and Billie the dog.
Days 3 and 4 Loch Ness and finishing down the canal to Inverness
The trip is some 97km or 60 miles. This time were were to spend three and a half days doing the trip. Normally when I guide it I allow five days. Paddling tandem I have paddled it in a single day (tandem with Chris Charlton).
Day 1 is at: • Canoeing Across Scotla...
Day 2 is at: • Canoeing Across Scotla...
The canal website is: www.scottishca...
We had paid for a facilities key from the canal office at Corpach. Payment is per person not per key although they took one look at Maya and only charged me for one. Please don’t abuse this and pay for one when you are a group. The facilities are good and have to be financed. There are few places that go out of the way to welcome us as paddlers.

Great trip Ray. Lovevely Daddy daughter time. Had a few adventures with my daughter there when she swam coast to coast using the Rivers & Locks.

[@RayGoodwinCanoe]

Wow that is amazing. What route did she take, was it the Great Glen? I am impressed.

[@SimonPorter-hr6pl]

Just brilliant Ray and, as you say, moments to be treasured!

[@RayGoodwinCanoe]

I was tremendous and I am so glad to have captured some of it on video. Thank you.

[@kevinbungles]

Memories made right there

[@RayGoodwinCanoe]

Trying hard to do that for her (and me). I just hit 70 and Maya is only 12 so I want to do as much as possible.

[@martinoutdoors6941]

Looked like a great trip Ray and the sentiment at the end is spot on. We have to treasure these moments.

[@RayGoodwinCanoe]

Absolutely. it was a great trip

[@philschaefer4651]

Always cool to run into friends on a trip. Again, looks like a beautiful place to paddle, I definitely need to get over to that side of the world one of these days. Thanks again for sharing with us.

Thanks Phil. So much history as well. Keep well

[@BuckMckawtheotherone]

Lovely trip, Ray. Those kids were very kind, weren't they, helping out like that? Nice to see these days. Thanks for posting.

[@RayGoodwinCanoe]

Yep great kids. Not only helping out but so used to the outdoors and doing stuff they were effective as well. Great to see them and Maya in the camp, just so natural. Anyway thanks for commenting, it is appreciated.

amazing film. so jealous

[@RayGoodwinCanoe]

It was very special. Hard work but special. Many thanks

[@davidwilliams2474]

What time of year was the trip please? You seemed to have some slightly strong winds at times - but made for great progress! I've not yet fitted a sail to my 16ft mad river explorer. I feel watching this that it would make it tons easier.

[@RayGoodwinCanoe]

Late August this year (2022). I had seen the forecast and drove up to take advantage of it.

[@davidwilliams2474]

@@RayGoodwinCanoe good plan sir. Was on the Vezere and Dordogne around that time!

[@Igorfun]

Nice, just commenting for the algorithm thanks for the vids Ray

[@RayGoodwinCanoe]

Thanks for watching! It all helps.
