Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
We go on a multi day canoe expedition to the wilderness of Scotland. Travelling 60 miles by canoe and wild camping along the way. Our trip starts at Fort William and finished in Inverness. We travel across the Caledonian Canal, through Loch Lochy, then onto Loch Oich where we join the wild river Oich and paddle through grade 2 rapids. Then we enter the monster loch ness and spend two days paddling and wild camping the 22 miles of this loch. Finally, we enter into the small Loch Dochfour and into the last section of the Caledonian Canal where we finish in Inverness. It was an epic trip, with rain storms, rapids, bugs and most importantly, incredible company!

I was confused for a minute, thinking that this was a GeoWizard video! Do you know about him? Maybe some day you could team up with him for a collaborative project. He loves maps, and uses them to plan out elaborate, yet crazily simple, journeys across various parts of the world, mostly in the UK (where he also lives. He recently attempted a straight line crossing of Scotland, which is probably what confused me about this video. I don't know if there's a specific sort of project that you and he might want to do, but there could be something fun, I imagine. Maybe you could build something that he comes to visit during one of his trips. Or you could teach him about identifying regions based on the kinds of trees and other foliage. Or help him not get sucked into bogs all the time. :-)

When I was young my family did a drive around Scotland. They took in lots of fun things, including a toured boat trip around Loch Ness and of course the MONSTER was the big deal. Some 40 or 50 years later now, at my better thinking age, I know that the Viking era Norse ship wrights made boats on the shores of Loch Ness. Would have been cool as heck to see a Dragon Boat rise from the water: )

5: 30 Noticed your T-shirt and could not help but wonder. Is a family member suffering from dementia? My hubby (for 20 years) is starting to forget things, people, events and sometimes has trouble finding words. I suspect it's early stage dementia but every time I try to talk about it he gets angry and ends the discussion.

Staying at one end of the glen in Fort William, I'm up an down the A82 to Inverness a lot, in a car or my preferred mode of travel, motorcycle. It would be nice to take time and a few days to appreciate the scenery like you did though

Wow I am speechless. It was so fun to watch your adventure along with all the beautiful scenes. Thanks for doing this for charity. My mom has been battling Alzheimers for almost two years. Thanks for sharing this amazing video.

You want fast changing weather? Come to New England where it can be spring in the morning Summer atnoon and winter by evening. As Mark Twian once said about New England, If you don't like the weather, wait five minutes.
