Inchcailloch<\/h2>\n

After our little stroll into Balmaha<\/a> yesterday, we had decided that we wanted to take a boat trip out to the island and Nature Reserve of Inchcailloch. It’s only a couple of hundred yards off shore from Balmaha and I was going to swim out to it, but decided against that as I would then have a wet wetsuit to deal with whilst on the island. We therefore headed into Balmaha after breakfast and caught a little ferry across to the island. There was no wind at all today and the waters were mirror calm. If I had brought the stand-up paddle board with us I would have paddled out around the island, but the little boat trip was nice too.<\/p>\n

Boat Trip<\/p><\/div>\n

There were a couple of geocaches to do on the island so we set off for a walk, first to an ancient burial ground and then around the island to the lovely bay of Port Bawn. This little beach was about as idyllic as it gets especially on a day like today with the mirror calm waters providing a perfect air of tranquillity. Once again I was wishing I had the SUP with me.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
