Good friend Adie suggested he might have a site suitable so it was off for a recce. The entrance drive through the forest was stunning, a track Adie had grown up on testing rally cars. There were sections in the forest that could well be used for Challenge events although a small site.
Two fords on the drive up were very nice but could be a different story after heavy rain.
Once through the forest we headed up to the open hill top. This would be great for Tyro events which is what I was looking for. The site has stunning views across Perthshire and beyond. We headed of the site for lunch via and interesting clear forest section. Big tree stumps, a real reminder of the TFC. Highest point on the site is 306m.
Look out for this site on the 2011 SORC Calender.After an excellent morning on the hill it was time for an afternoon of Fishing at Adie's Loch. It was my first attempt at fly fishing and I was looking forward too it.
A great afternoon out on the loch learning some of the finer details of Fly Fishing. Unfortunately nothing was caught but that didn't matter. One of the reasons we were there was to check out the feasibility of running Kayak Fishing here. Should not be a problem. It would be a great spot for a bit of kayaking with fishing thrown in. Fishing, I'm hooked..... sorry.
