little bit busy this lake with people and kayakers and that sort of thing it's nice to come and spend a bit of time paddling on a fairly large lake in preparation for our trip later in the year so for now i'm gonna get back down the beach get my tent set up i'll probably make a cup of coffee and then we'll just chill out for a little while before we think about cracking the beer open and cooking

pre-cooked sausage tonight fairly simple and yeah but pretty tasty um but for now i'm just going to enjoy this crack the beer open sit by the fire with ant and charlie and yeah just to chill out and enjoy the rest of the evening good morning everyone uh welcome to a beautiful morning today uh it looks like glass at the minute a lot of reflections of the hillside and the trees and it's uh yeah really nice and very quiet and still this morning you probably hear the birds in the forest here as well which is uh yeah making it even more so a relaxing and a nice morning to be out here but yeah it must have got down below freezing last night because it's a bit of a frost around on the ground on the tent um but i was nice and warm in there and had a really comfortable night sleep in my new air mat we had before i made coffee and made some breakfast i just wanted to chat to you guys about a trip that me aunt and rick and a few other guys gonna be doing later in the year which i think i mentioned yesterday so we're gonna be doing a five-day canoe trip across scotland uh we're gonna be doing the great caledonian way and um yeah something organized and asked us all to come come on with him and um yeah something i've been looking at myself doing myself for a while and so i was really grateful that i'm satisfied with him and so he organized it in mind of raising money and and some mainly awareness for the alzheimer's charity which is something he's dealing with himself at the minute um his dad having alzheimer's and he wanted something to take his mind off that and say something to focus on but also just to raise awareness and a little bit of money if we can for the charity and yeah so the plan is we're going to open in august and attempt that over the five days and um hopefully be successful but depending on the weather and that sort of thing but we have got a bit of floor in there for very bad weather that might encounter during those five days we're really looking forward to that and um the main purpose of this couple of days is to catch up and chat about the details and obviously get some paddling timing as well between then and then and now we'll do a few more trips like this just to um to get the paddling timing and just make sure you're all comfortable with the how things are getting packed in the boat and that sort of thing yeah really looking forward to that and obviously i'll bring you guys along and let you know i would get on as well but if anyone is in a position to donate then i would really appreciate if you could use just giving page links in the video description below and set that page up so hopefully we can uh people can easily donate to the cause and uh so hopefully we do raise a good bit of money as well as awareness of the uh of the horrible disease so yeah that's um what we're gonna be doing and really looking forward to it what i think we do now is uh head back to camp get my jetboiler out boil some water up make a nice cup of coffee and just chill out and relax for a little bit um guys aren't up yet but i can see a bit of smoke coming out and top ten so i think he must be working in there with his son we're just gonna chill out a little bit on camp this morning have a cup of coffee make some breakfast up and just enjoy this morning before we pack up come and do a bit more paddling this morning so yeah i'm gonna get a cup of coffee now and i'll bring you guys back um late this morning right so we're doing like a catching cup thinking and so i'm like yeah i'll peg this so there's breakfast this morning there's some sausages and a bit of bacon uh courtesy of ant he just cook these at one of his store and he's hot tend and also we use that for boiling some water for coffee as well this morning so yeah i've got to sit down enjoy this now and just relax a little bit in camp oh you know we've been having a drinking house that's the difference that's all we get packed away my canoe is loaded
