Dàna: Scotland’s Wild Side - Ep 3 | Loch Laomainn

Anns a’ phrògram seo, tha na gillean Dàna - Coinneach agus an stiùiriche Hamish - a’ bruidhinn mu dheidhinn turas a rinn Coinneach air bòrd-seasamh air Loch Laomainn, a’ falbh le bòrd agus ràmh air an astair bho Bhaile MoThatha gu Àird Laoigh. Tha Loch Laomainn a’ tàladh na mìltean luchd-turais gach bliadhna agus anns an earrann seo bha Coinneach nam measg. Fo sgàil feadhainn dha na beanntan is àghmhoire an Alba, tha Coinneach agus Hamish a’ cuimhneachadh air mar a chuir e a dhruim ris an eallach, a’ spàrn an-aghaidh fìor dhroch shìde, agus a’ cadal fo chanabhas air eilean beag an teis-meadhan na locha. Tha meas as ùire aig Coinneach a-nis airson an loch àlainn, ainmeil seo.

In this podcast, the bold Dàna boys - Coinneach and director Hamish - talk about the trip Coinneach took on his paddleboard on Loch Lomond. This beautiful loch attracts thousands of visitors every year, and Coinneach talks about how he joined their numbers attempting to paddle the vast distance between Balmaha and Ardlui. In the shadow of some of Scotland’s most imposing mountains, Coinneach and Hamish talk about how this challenge pushed the limits of his endurance, as he contended with extreme weather, and spent a night on a miniature island in the middle of the loch. It was an incredible achievement and reawakened Coinneach’s appreciation for this famous Scottish loch.
