Wow! Thanks, David!


I already did a little bit of research on Google Maps, but your annotated map is considerably more helpful.

Well, folks - just over three weeks to go - better tell me soon if you have special requirements, like a chauffeur-driven Rolls Royce, or quails' eggs and caviare for breakfast . . . .

These few weeks will rush past, so I'm being at least half-serious; if you do have any requests, the time is now.

Also - is everyone fixed up with transport from Edinburgh airport to Killin? (It seems that no-one is flying into Glasgow.)

Yes, but need a lift / public transport directions for my return on Wednesday the 11th :)

Thank you so much Dave. You did so much for us already!

Lets hope the gods of light & weather will bless our paths!

Thank you again.
You are out there. You and your camera. You can shoot or not shoot as you please. Discover the world, Your world. Show it to us. Or we might never see it.

Dave I'd like to know if there is any permit required to camp at the head of the loch. I am planning to drive over on Friday night, arriving around 11PM.

Yes - access is unlimited but it's private ground and they do like people camping to ask first. I'll mention it to the appropriate person, and get you a number to ring.

It will be pretty dark at 11pm, even in May - better have a good torch!
Best of luck,
Dave

Thanks.
I know getting there at dark is not the best thing.
Finding a nice spot will be interesting... even with a light.

Helicopters are rather scarce in the village this year, nevertheless all things are possible. If you would deposit £1000 in my Paypal account I will organise a chopper.   8) 8) 8)

Alternatively, at Loch Earn - less than 20km south from here, you can take short flights in a float-plane, taking off and landing in the loch. It should cost a little less than a helicopter.   ;D

Later. sorry - my float-plane information was out-of-date - it is no longer available. There are such flights on Loch Lomond, however.

I think the ride in Norway was 200£ each, with room for 3 photographers so 600£ - which would be OK for my part!

£1000 is OK for an entire day.
What Erik is talking about is for an hour.
