The loch didn't drain, but went very low in 1967. I jumped on my trusty matchless and drove up to Balmaha only to find 'redwing' high and dry with no chance of a sail that day. The american tourists were asking all sorts of stupid questions about the tide. Back on the bike and home again - waste of petrol at 4/6d a gallon.

Liked the upper reaches where it had a canyon feel. Also, having only driven past it on 'that' road, I did not realise there were so many islands.

Thanks for posting :)

Enjoyed that but was rather hoping to see my watch that I lost overboard off Luss in about 1997!
