    Aye Rogie Falls a couple of miles down the road. Brand new play park just here at Garve if you bring the kids along. It were bloody blooming champion. Might be a bit further north than @Hulmebantam@Hulmebantam was planning on driving but only a half hour north of Inverness so worth a ride out for a picnic in the park then there's a good little walk from bridge to bridge only an hour and a half or so and very manageable.

    Will keep it in mind. We're in inverness next weekend for mrs birthday, we quite often do the loop walk at rogie falls if we are over there, as that's usually the way we go to skye, achnasheen etc. Loch Achility is a lovely spot too just near there, there's picnic benches at the top end of the loch and loads of ducks etc. It's worth a drive up into the glen near loch meig. Famously where i nearly fell out of the boat when were bringing it ashore during a competition, as my boat partners plied me with too much whisky, or so ther reckoned. Look, i tripped ok, nothing to see here...

    Cheers.

    Can't beat Scotland if you're looking for water... Looking down Loch Ness towards Fort Augustus from the shore at Dores. Didn't see the monster once.

    That's what happens when you're careless in the smallest room

    Requires a bump I saved a nice picture for it. Not enough fishing being done! This is the Bay River sea pool last time I was out seems ages ago, after a few sea trout. There's a golden eagle in the shot too, but no fish.

    First cast, first salmon of the season. In the flood and gales. This is the positive thing when you turn up on site and you can't get access to do electrical work. Go fishing.

    Brilliant Lake Bled, some big carp and apparently northern pike. Water is so clear you can see the carp from the bank.
