This year will see the inaugural SCA Loch Ness Paddle Marathon. Competitors will be required to paddle the length of Loch Ness, from Fort Augustus to Lochend (a distance of approximately 22 miles).

Depending on the interest from competitors, there may also be a short course race from Drumnadrochit to Lochend.

The race will be open to all types of craft, but given the distance and type of water, it will primarily be for sea kayaks.

The SCA have nominated the date of the race as Saturday, 24th July 2010 and the race is currently listed on their Marathon Racing Calendar.

Newsflash

Inverness Canoe Club's annual 'come-and-try' open day will be held on 3 October at Loch Achilty, near Contin from 10.30am until 3pm.

Located adjacent to the Forestry Commission car park at Loch Achilty (by Contin), the event is open to all (incl. non-members) who would like to come along and learn more about paddlesport, try out various canoes/kayaks, watch demos of playboating, kayaing, packing open boats for touring etc.

There will also be a few bushcraft and wildlife identification workshops and a BBQ...should be a great day out for all the family!

Bring along some warm thermal clothes, a towel and a spare change of clothes if you fancy trying out some of the demo boats...it doesn't cost anything, just your time!

Pre-booking is not required, although you may want to bring a bit of food for the BBQ...also, if you fancy helping out, please give Fiona Rice a shout: Fiona.Rice@snh.gov.uk
