The Solway Firth.

In the past I've walked in the Galloway hills, on the Rhinns of Kells and my own mountain "The Merrick" but I've never paddled there. So at the beginning of the year when I was complying the club calender I bent the arm of Mike B who used to live down that way. He duly organized a trip and last friday seven paddlers from Fife met up with seven paddlers from Dumfries for two days of paddling around the Fleet islands and Brighouse Bay. 

                                   
Saturday night was spent in the Masonic Arms, and we didn't even have to roll up our trouser leg. An area definitly worth further exploration.
