The Great Glen Canoe Trail - Part Two. Scottish Canoe Adventure. Wild Camp. Ship Wreck. Loch Oich.

In this video, we continue our canoeing adventure along the Great Glen canoe trail in Scotland. Carrying all of our gear for the trip, we paddle along the vast Loch Lochy and into a short section of tree lined canal before entering our second Loch - the quiet and intimate Loch Oich.
After exploring the ship wreck of the Eala Bhan, sitting beneath the equally impressive Invagarry Castle, we find a spot amongst the trees to set up camp for the night. A hearty dinner, a couple of beers and stories shared around the campfire and its time for a well earned sleep before our big day there - white water rapids, a broken boat and the enormity of the mighty Loch Ness.

There are twelve of us on this trip, attempting to raise money for the Alzheimers Society. I would like to thank everybody who has already donated to this essential cause, we have already smashed our target, but with your help we can go further! - I’ll put a link below to the JustGiving page.

I will also put links to the YouTube channels and Instagram pages of the other guys who took part in this adventure - please go and check out their videos for their takes of the trip!

I hope you enjoy the video, part three will be up soon.

Thanks for watching.

It occurred to me that with all these great trips you taken you've done a lot of extra work to take all of us along. Thank you mate for the excursions. 👍

Hi Simon, me and my mother enjoyed watching Kent survival for a long time now and through him we found you so you've become a part of a special moment for me where me and mom sit together for a few hours and watch bushcraft so thank you. We have also now started watching Craig thanks to your shout-out so that's another thing me and my mother are thankful for.

Epic, this deserved watching on the big screen instead of the iPad..👍 I see from others videos a lot of sail envy 😂hope the damage isn’t too bad.

Your videos are better than anything put out by the tv companies. Top entertainment watching great people just helping others. Watching your breakfast sizzle did make me hungry though :)

Another beautiful journey you have taken us on today Mr S ! Looking forward to the next video and what you might be eating . The cooking portions are so enjoyable to watch even for those of us stuck eating a bowl of cardboard flavored cereal. Safe journeys!

I've seen every video so far from all the lads, and I never get tired of any of it!! As always Simon, great content. Your circle around the wreck was unique to the rest of the videos. And by the gods we saw you without a hat for a second time! LOL! Really enjoy going along with you all! Looking forward to Part 3. Cheers Simon!
