Holiday - Scotland Day 4 - Laggan Zip Wire, Loch Ken Kayaking, Clatteringshaws Loch Cream Tea

Scotland Holiday - Day 4
Laggan Zip Wire, Loch Ken Kayaking, Clatteringshaws Loch Cream Tea

This morning we woke up to beautiful sunshine.  We decided to go to Laggan Outdoor Activity Centre to go on their 820m zip wire!  One of the longest in Europe aparently.  We arived and had to fill out their safety forms, we were then suppled with a full body harness and a helmet.  Once kitted up we were driven up the bumpy track to the top.  The instructor set everything up and then clipped us in and with a brief countdown we were flung down the hill!  It was great and could have done it again and again!  


We had a bacon sandwich for lunch in the cafe there before going back to The Loft.  This afternoon we made our way to the Galloway Activity Centre to do some kayaking.  We had a lovely paddle round Loch Ken.  We drove on to New Galloway and then round to Clatteringshaws Loch.  


We parked and walked out to Bruce's Stone - It was just as the name suggests - A stone!!  

At the visitor centre we stopped for Tim to have a cream tea!!  Further along the road we tried to stop and walk to some waterfalls but unfortunately they were logging in that area so had shut the footpaths.  Back at The Loft we did some washing and got dinner ready - mmm Hunters Chicken :o) Tonight we need to sort our stuf out ready for an early start in the morning as we are going to the Isle Of Arran.
