Nice trip. I used to live in the Vale and worked on Loch Lomondside. Been to lots of the islands.

Enjoyed reading your blog..Loch Lomond is also a reservoir hence noticable reduction in water levels at times.

It can rise rapidly if the Hydro discharges too.

A few of us were open canoe wild camping many years ago before all the restrictions. The water levels were really high compared to a few weeks before.
A small dock we had used previously was now under water, as you say it can be rapid.

That's interesting to know about the reasons for the water levels, thanks for posting.

I loved reading the blog - you write engagingly and lucidly and with humour.

We visited Loch Lomond at the end of May - the last time had been 45 years ago with my parents. It's still staggeringly beautiful (we were lucky to have sun). We didn't camp - on a bit of a road trip in between staying with my sister in Dunbar so were in a B&B - although we did when I was younger, at Ardgartan.

You've almost made me want to wild camp too

Camping - emotional resilience in action, a triumph of hope over adversity and antidote to virtual reality.
