Very nice video!

[@johntomson3812]

Hi Stephen, lovely footage as usual. I wish your son all the best in the RAF. You always give me the "itch" to get out. Thanks for showing my country in such a beautiful light.👍👍

[@pr1tch1]

Many thanks John for your kind words. I'll be lost without him , but it's his time to leave the nest. Hopefully we can have the odd trip when he gets leave. Kind regards Steve

[@captainlandslide9874]

Lovely video. I’m looking forward to when i have experience and kit to match do i can do stuff like this. Enjoy!

[@pr1tch1]

Good luck. Hope you get sorted soon and enjoy the great outdoors. 👍

A treat.

Nice video! I've the same dinghy excel 390, just smaller. Should come up and head out from Port Glasgow, alot of exploring to do from there 👍

Hi Stephen, nice video and thanks for posting as I was thinking about Arkaig/Lochy for a night or two over the winter and you help figure our my options! I hope your son enjoys his time in the RAF and his absence doesn't slow you down too much for future trips. Cheers, Doug

[@pr1tch1]

Many thanks Doug. I may have to buy a trailer or even think about leaving my boat in scotland. Do you leave your boat on a yard or at home? Thanks

[@Corkwing-DougK]

@@pr1tch1 Hi Stephen - I keep it at home nowadays, although I had my Warrior stored at a caravan park in East Lothian. The Orkney is just that little bit smaller and it can sneak into the garage. If you can manage it then I'd definitely recommend keeping a boat at home as it's a lot easier to look after it or get it set up for a trip at short notice.

[@rudiparker275]

Hi, your videos a great, did you get somewhere in Scotland to store your dinghy? I live near Glasgow airport an there's storage facilitys nearby.. If you need any info let me know.. I've the excel volaire 390, loads of places to explore in the Clyde estuary with a few public slipways along the coast... Hopefully gonna do a trip round Arran this summer.. The more the merrier if you were up this way.. Cheers.

Nice video Stephen with great views of the Loch and surrounding area. I have the Honwave T38 IE3 is yours the Excel 430. Good luck to your son in the RAF. Really enjoyed watching. Atb Steve.

[@pr1tch1]

Thanks Steve. Yes it's the 430. I'm tempted to get a trailer and maybe even keep it in Scotland. Loch Lomond next I think. It maybe a bit busy for my liking , though I think you can find some quiet areas if you look. Cheers

[@stevesdaysoff2759]

I have visited Loch Lomond quite a few times with my inflatable when on holiday at Luss. Would love a trailer but no were to store it due to my caravan on the drive lol.

[@stevesdaysoff2759]

Hello Stephen. What Transom wheels are you using and is there any restriction in the movement of the outboard motor. Im thinking about getting a Honwave T40 so im looking for a good pair of wheels. They look like the Strem wheels 🤔. Thanks Steve 👍

[@tonus6559]

1:37 can I ask - where did you get your seats? In the UK? They look good - are they light? I looked at a couple on UK sites and they don’t seem to list the weight! Great video, as ever… super mellow for a Monday night!

[@pr1tch1]

Hi I got these and spayed them and reupholstered them. Very light and I can spend hours without back pain thargo.com/product/lightweight-folding-boat-seat-grey-charcoal-style-with-cup-holder/?gclid=Cj0KCQiA14WdBhD8ARIsANao07iMpBeoNkjHcERthiuyk-f1AdY_m-x09FcuptKjIDL84Nh3dlMI2UAaAoOSEALw_wcB

[@tonus6559]

Thank you Stephen - think thats the exact one I saw on Boatworld, good to know it’s lightweight. Thanks - keep rocking that boat

[@ryanroberts2166]

What made you get the Excel and get rid of the Bison?

[@raykeogh1972]

Great video, not sure if ive asked this question before but what speed can you go and still use your dept finder? The other question love the tent and it appears very easy to put up. What's the name of the tent? Thanks for sharing Ray K UK YNWA.

[@pr1tch1]

Hi Ray Anything over around 10mph and the depth finder stops working. My older , cheaper depth finder keeps working even at high speed which is a bit strange. To be honest, I would be totally lost without it. It a brilliant safety feature and has saved me from hitting bottom many times. On the Lochs, you can go from 200ft to 2ft in seconds. Plus its caught me a few fish . The popup tent is fantastic. It was brought for fishing trips , but it's so good I now take it camping. You can literally put it up in seconds . It's double skin which is unusual for pop up tents. It's also huge inside. Link below. Good luck www.decathlon.co.uk/p/bivvy-tanker-rapid-carp-fishing-bivvy/_/R-p-169340?mc=8495505

[@raykeogh1972]

@@pr1tch1 Thank you I really appreciate that. You say it’s big inside, big enough for two?
