A few dinghy photo from trip on west coast

Hi folks not posted in a while as not been using the dinghy so much recently
But just had a lovely week camping and walking up loch etive, down to the garvellachs for a night and then down round jura
Weather was mixed but pretty good overall and had a few good days on the hill
I had forgotten how nice it is to travel in relative luxury with the dinghy compared with having to paddle or carry all your kit !
My girlfriend could get used to it again and I think I could as well!
Hope everyone is well
Cheers
Duggie

They have built a pier up loch etive since I was last there, for a hydro scheme apparently, shame as it spoils the bay there a wee bit, but still plenty other good camping spots

Hi fenflander yes well spotted! I put off buying one for ages but lock down broke me! It was a bit extravagant due to my useage because as you know outboards aren't cheap -and then there are the servicing costs of course!
