Foraging
The real beauty of foraging is it helps you connect to a landscape in a whole new way. It gives you reason to lie in the grass, to poke your fingers through the earth in search of a pignut, to scramble over rocks and pick through layers of dulse - mix it with the random weavings of a forage in the forest and you have the ideal antidote to nature-detached-modernity, a perfect little moment of wild escape.

An alternative way to explore the Loch, but be careful it requires a higher level of skill than canoeing – you definitely want to avoid a dip in the Loch!
