General / Loch Carron
Last post by Al - Aug 27, 2026, 7:16 pmI managed to get out on my own for a few hours on Wednesday. Lunchtime I met up with Becky at the Lochcarron Cafe, before heading back out on the loch on my own.
This was the first time out on the water since the breakdown we suffered last time out. New belt adjuster bolt fitted and another new Gates lift fan drive belt fitted. I also had to make a repair to the rear skirt as it had a small tear and had worn down to canvas at a previous repair on the rear skirt. New skirt will be made and fitted over the winter months. This one hasn't been too bad as has been on the craft for 10 or 11 years. Side bags are still good, but will replace the whole skirt.
This video is where I parked up next to the old Strome turn table Ferry wreck.

Last post by Nick Flint - Aug 10, 2026, 9:32 amGetting very interesting. Did the guy like Sabrina?
Is there a reason for there's white froth on the surface inside the dock?
Will you be allowed to run a discrete metal detection over the area, as surely money and objects were changing hands in the environs, and in medieval times metal detectors were few (and far between?)
Lets hope you get a mention in "Mens Medieval Times" or a pin up centre fold?
You could feature in your Radio active control suit with gas mask and fetching old shoes sporting a trodden in blue rubber glove with added resin to add that Je ne sais Quoi? The secret of course is to arrange the glove so as to "inhale" through the finger portion to simulate respiration of a trodden on blue throated frog (from Gambeenia) rarely seen nowadays in polite society. It's a skill to quote Kim.
"Blue frog arranging" is a recognised night school course held by some of the more enlightened local parishes.
