Hello

Just joined the forum and thought I would say hello, I'm relativly new to boating having only bought my Honwave T38 and Tohatsu 9.8 four stroke new last year, but have used it quite a lot in that time, mainly in the Scottish Highlands but with the exception of north Wales once and a few times around Lancashire where I live.

Matt

Welcome. You'll be needing a boat name.

Not suggesting it, but I saw this one recently, being an Irish boat, it amused me

Hi Fenlander, yes I love Scotland, I I tend to go on the Lochs, loch Leven, Fyne, and Lomond being my favourites, but I have been out in the Atlantic a few times too, Aran, Mull, and really enjoyed the skerries near Mallaig this year, another good trip on the Sib this year was from Uisken on Mull around the Mull coast to Iona, circumnavigating Iona clockwise from the Atlantic side and coming back through the sound of Iona then back to Uisken.

Yes Steve, Ullswater has been a regular haunt, but not Windermere as I've not registered the Sib on there yet.

Haha quite a good one that Willk, I've not named the Honwave yet, always refering to something like Honwave or Honwave inflatable when calling for radio checks etc 🙂

Good to hear you enjoyed around Mallaig. I've just booked 8 days in Arisaig, part of an 18 day trip in Scotland.

I went to Arisaig about 25 years ago, all I can remember is non stop rain! and white sand.
Hopefully the weather this time will be a little better.

Matt is that Kinross Loch Leven or Glencoe Loch Leven?

38yrs ago we had a brilliant holiday in a lodge above Loch Ailort about 4mls south of Arisaig where we went to shop/eat. We hired a 4m grp boat for the week and one place we visited was the tiny island Eilean nan Gobhar, taking a pic of our dog on the vitrified hill fort. Some 30 plus years later Donny posted a picture visiting the island to eat his sarnies in the same place. Quite spooky.

If the weather is anything half decent as with our visits it's an amazing area.

Well enjoy and I hope you get the weather, and yes I've certainly packed a lot of Sibbing in a short period of time, but I'm really enjoying myself 🙂

Steve it's the sea loch at Glencoe, I haven't ventured onto the freshwater Leven
