I would like to explore the Loch by boat and camp on shore each evening.

Is this possible or is the whole shore private?

You can camp on all the islands, plenty do most good weekends.

It's a beautiful area for boating. There are always folk camping on the islands at some spot or another, the times I've been there.Last time I was over was three and six weeks ago, and at least 4 camping parties on the islands.

Agreed Jeff, but once you have had a taste of Jambo country you just want to carry on heading to the West.

Hey pal, that was me on the Orange RIB playing in your wake - nice to see the pics, cheers for that? you got many more? your dad looked cosy all snuggled up in the bow!

Was a fantastic weekend, got some vids of the ringo's that ill post up after i edit out the boring bits. Lucky to have such great weather at this time of year.

Also, I was unaware that apparently there is a 5kt speed limit behind that island... my bad!

Cheers

Si
