Ftom Inveraray we set off down the west side of Loch Fyne.
Despite its size, Loch Fyne is seldom paddled. Many sea kayakers drive for some way along its shores on their way to the west coast of Argyll and never think of stopping....
...perhaps because they think they can see it all from the road. Nothing could be further from the truth. Between Dalchenna and Furnace there is only a track by the western shore and the tree covered hillsides tumble right down to the shore.
We decided to take a break at a little spit of land with a view back up the loch...
...towards distant Inveraray and the mountains beyond.
We enjoyed a fine luncheon of humous on oatcakes and stilton cheese on Latvian rye bread...
...while trying to decide when to cross to the far shore, where we had left the shuttle cars.
