you should - no one else around, and a completely different feeling to the loch. it is quite eery.

Yes its great in winter we launched at Balloch and took the boat up to Ardlui and camped there for a couple of days not one other boat out, the whole Loch to ourselves

hi, really nice bit of video.
looks really good when the lochs as quiet as that. we have just registered our new boat on LL and plan to launch it next weekend and start the tedious 20 hr break in on the engine.. so if anyone else is out would be glad of some company.

Looks like a good trip....good to blow the new year cobwebs away!

Here's a photo of the same view two summers ago......Proof that Scotland can get good weather (sometimes!)

Would love to K&S but the good ship is high & dry due to technical problems

Hope she gets better soon doubt we could have kept up anyway. max revs we are allowed is 3000 any idea what speed we might hope for at these revs with 2 adults 3 children and a packed lunch ?

We have just come back from a skiing holiday and the weather was approx
-4 /-10 with snow and high winds.
Powerboating on loch lomond should be like a summer outing ( ok, a Scottish summer outing )

Your dead right -4 rising to a tropical -1 in the afternoon with light winds and dry. So not all bad lol.
