Day 37 - A short jaunt to Laggan.

The alternate way to do the canal
We thought it was Ben Nevis but it turned out to be Ben Tee.
Still tranquility

Proud parents
Practising his "crash stop"
Life as a lock keeper's mate is hard!


Summer is back. The day gradually improved as we ventured further along the canal, through Loch Oich, the highest part of the route and at Laggan descended into Loch Lochy. Loch Lochy has lost a metre of water in recent weeks and we could not find a mooring on the pontoons with sufficient depth so we return through the lock to a mooring above.


Fingal - A dutch hotel barge
Some different wildlife at last.



The cost of getting to close to the shore!
Entering the lock and preparing for our first descent
At the bottom of the lock
Moorings at Laggan Locks
