Cowal Kayak Club

Friday nights at Loch Eck

admin — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 20:00:28 +0000

The Club will no longer meet at the Riverside Leisure Centre pool on Friday nights, but will instead meet at Loch Eck, starting Fri 16 April 2010. We will meet up at the Benmore Gardens car park at 6.30 pm.

It is still to be decided but coaches will probably be present every 2 or 3 weeks, so those occasions only would count as official club outings re insurance etc. Meantime, individuals are welcome to come along on a Friday night for some paddling company.

Please contact the club if you plan to come along and if you need a kayak/canoe.

Clyde paddle

A few Cowal Kayak Club members went for a paddle on the Clyde today. Fortunately, the wind was mostly westerly, meaning that the Eastern Cowal shore was fairly sheltered.

Photos can be found here.

Winter paddling in Cowal

Winter weather need not prevent getting out on the waters around Cowal. Check out these photos from a recent trip. While the rest of the Clyde was shrouded in fog, a little sunny window opened over Cowal.
