AWAY WITH THE GIRLS 21+: AUTUMN PADDLEBOARDING!

This one has been on my adventure bucket list for a long time...so I am VERY excited...We’re heading for a 3-hour autumn paddleboarding adventure on Loch Faskally and the River Tummel! After we will aim to go to a local cafe for a post paddle social with both groups.

Join us as Pitlochry transforms into a rich canvas of golden yellows, fiery oranges, and deep reds. This route offers plenty of magical views and wildlife. This journey offers a perfect combination of tranquil waters and stunning scenery, making it an unforgettable paddleboarding experience in Scotland!

The Route:

Crossing Loch Faskally: Begin paddling on the serene, open waters of Loch Faskally. This stretch offers calm, reflective water, ideal for warming up and finding your balance. The surrounding forested hills cast a beautiful reflection across the loch, creating a peaceful atmosphere. Glide through the water, taking in the gorgeous autumn colours, rolling hills, and occasional wildlife sightings like ospreys, herons, swans, kites or ducks paddling nearby.

Entering the River Tummel: At the north-western edge of Loch Faskally, you’ll transition smoothly into the River Tummel, which meanders with a gentle current. The banks here are closer, bringing you right into Scotland’s rich forest landscapes. Tall pines and oaks arch overhead, creating patches of shade and sunlight across the water. The gentle current provides a bit of extra momentum, making for a relaxing paddle as you follow the river’s twists and turns.

Approaching the Waterfall: As you near the waterfall, the sound of rushing water guides you. The river narrows, pulling you toward a beautiful, secluded spot where water cascades over rocks into the river below. Paddle up close, feeling the refreshing mist as you take in the sight of the waterfall. This is a perfect place to pause, relax, and admire the scenery.

Rest and Recharge: Find a calm area nearby to beach your board or float as you take a break. Enjoy a snack, rehydrate, and let the tranquility of this natural wonder soak in. The area around the falls is rich in flora, with moss-covered rocks and trees framing the waterfall, creating a lush, peaceful atmosphere.

Return Journey: Begin your journey back downstream. The gentle current now works in your favor, providing a bit of extra ease on the way back.As you re-enter Loch Faskally, the wide expanse of water opens up again, giving you a relaxed finish to your journey with beautiful panoramic views.
