Hey folks,
To cut a loooong story short, over the week up to the Easter weekend we were travelling through Assynt and Inverpolly in/pulling/carrying a group of 7 canoes with a bunch of kids, zig zagging from loch to loch (Cam Loch-Veyatie-Sionasgaig, Lurgainn, Bad a Ghaill, Osgaig, roughly). This meant some fairly hefty portages of a mile or more, across the hills. On the biggest of these, we bumped into our first other humans for 7 days, a lady with 2 kids, as we slid the boats down hill below Cul Beag. She happened to say that we were "quite the topic of conversation" on the summit, as we inched our way slowly over hills with boats.
This got me thinking. I'll be writing up my blog and maybe a paddling mag article, so I wondered if any hill folk had happened to spot us over that time, and had a photo or two of us from above that I could borrow? It would have been a strange sight! Any use would of course be credited, and this is not in the remotest bit commercial, it might just look pretty cool!
So if you were on Suilven around 14th/15th, Cul Mor anytime between then and the 19th, or Stac Pollaidh/Cul Beg around the 18th/19th, and happened to have a picture of some nutters dragging canoes and bags over mountains, do get in touch!

Cheers guys and gals,
