The Rough Bounds of Knoydart

From Rachael Haylett:

Canoeing down Loch Quoich.
Easter weekend dawned with the continued fantastic weather the Scottish Highlands has been receiving, so Ben and I set off on a canoe adventure with his parents, Liam and Debs, family friends Dave and Rach, and Bedw the springer spaniel. To sum up a fantastic trip in a few words: six days of camping with end to end sunshine, a tipi with a woodstove to keep us cosy in the evenings, two days canoeing, three munro summits, and some impressive sunburn!

The sun sets over our first evening in camp.
