WHAT’S ON:
PADDLEBOARDING / KAYAKING / SUNBATHING (sun is subject to availability!)
- Please bring your own paddleboards, kayaks, life jackets and body boards if you have them.
- We have invested in more paddle boards and a 2 person kayak. Bring your own or DM to reserve one of our boards or if you would like to borrow a lifejacket.
- We have a fully qualified, Paddleboard instructor for our taster sessions. It’s great to see people learning and coming away with a new hobby!
- On booking, please let us know if you are bringing a padddle board or would like to borrow one.
- If you want to borrow a paddle board, please email obanlesbianweekend@gmail.com or DM to book. We have limited numbers of boards, so first booked, get them but we have all weekend, so you’ll at least get a taster session.
- Loch rules are that life jackets must be worn at all times on paddle boards or Kayaks on Loch Lomond, please contact us if you need to borrow one. Please note, all swimming and paddle boarding is undertaken at your own risk. Please do not enter the water after drinking.
SWIMMING
- We will have swimming sessions run by a level 2 swimming instructor.
- We have a few extra wetsuits, please email us if you’d like to borrow one but hopefully we’ll have glorious may weather again = wet suit not required!
- Please bring a swimming float if you have one, we have a few spares.
WALKS
- Milarochy Bay is one of the most beautiful parts of Loch Lomond with forestry tracks going right round the loch.

GROUP LUNCH & BBQ
