Retirement plans becoming clearer every day.
Happy early birthday present from ’im outdoors.
Superb day paddling upriver from Loch Insch and back in my new toy.
3 deg C to start with autumnal mist shrouding the Loch and river, clearing to a brilliantly sunny and clear day.
Saw 6 osprey circling and a covey of about 20 partridges exploded from the river bank and cannoned low across the river almost taking our hats off as they passed.
One unfortunate misjudged the trajectory, thunked into a tree and dropped, stunned into the water where it flailed about getting its bearings before pulling itself together and launching off after its mates.
