Loch Lomond Islands Provisional

The range of dates I will be looking to run my weather-dependent rally on Loch Lomond will be 14 Sep 26 to 30 Oct 26.  Dates for this rally will only be confirmed if/when a suitable high pressure weather window is forecast. The aim would be to explore the beautiful islands of the southern part of Loch Lomond, as well as refreshment stops on shore, with planned launch and recovery from Duncan Mills Memorial Slipway at Balloch which has parking for cars and trailers. Hoping for blue skies, light winds and misty mornings, as the Valentine crew were lucky enough to enjoy in 2025 See here .

When a few days of suitable weather and availability appear I'll post on a WhatsApp group I've set up for this rally. If you're interested in taking part please just join the group and we'll take it from there.  No fixed agenda in advance and I'm open to suggestions or we'll just go where the wind takes us!  We hope to see you there!  

Best wishes from Chris, Marianne and Raffy the Border Terrier aboard Coaster 'Valentine'.
