"If you see him out on the water as you pass by give him a wave!" Not too big a wave; it could be a bit unsettling!
If I see him on Loch Arkaig I'll make him a brew and tell him Loch Ba on Rannoch Moor makes for a great day out.

Loch Ba to the east coast, paddlers dream, with just the odd portage round fish ladders. He could get to Montrose before you that way.

If the weather is anything like my last Challenge he could probably paddle down the road quicker than I could walk it!

It's quite often possible to paddle, road or no road boat or no boat.Tea and biscuits would be great though.Thank you for the offer.
