Loch Awe and Some!! March 2015- Day 3

Day 3 – Forests and Waterfalls

Hi everyone, yes we are still here and yes it’s still AWESOME… I still haven’t managed to work out where the loch goes each morning, and I don’t know where the white cloud goes when the loch comes back…it must be a Scottish thing.. Whatever it is and wherever it goes, it always eats Olga and then spits her back out again…. She must taste awful hahahaha..

Today we all went for a walk in the forest, Dad showed Mum the blue trail we could follow, which would take us deep into the forest, past part of the loch and then back up into the forest where the tallest trees ever live. Dad said some of the trees were over 100 years old! And stood over 100 foot (I think that works out at 500 paws tall), he also said there was a waterfall as well. We all headed off following the blue trail, the sun was shining and it was lovely and warm. Mum had took her big camera with her so that meant me and Olga had to stop and smile when she wanted to ‘snap’ us… boringgggggg, I was like “Mum get some action shots of me” I set off running around and jumping over the fallen trees, I think Mum got a bit fed up because she couldn't ‘snap’ me quick enough lol.

The walk took us deep into the forest and the smells were amazing, we saw loads different trees, and leaves, and flowers and there were little ponds that of course Olga jumped straight into, she came out of most of them covered in smelly mud. We ran off in front and at one point I was running downhill so fast I fell head over paws!, I think Olga tripped me up to be honest, but I didn't make a big deal of it, and to be honest I was just glad no-one else saw me!! I must have looked a right fool toppling down the hill…

The walk took us down to the loch for a much needed drink, and a wash for the smelly Olga, and then it took us back up hill into the forest, that’s where Mum went into a bit of a panic, Dad found the waterfall and there was a sign that said “Steep sides pass with care”, of course I wanted to go and see what Dad was looking at and ran towards him.

Mum must have thought I was going to fall over the side and started shouting “Louis no – come here- come here” Dad asked what she was shouting at and she got a bit upset saying she didn't want me or Olga going near the edge. Dad looked at me and said “Come on Louis, let’s move away before Mum has a heart attack” I know Mum loves us, but she needs to realise that we have 4 leg drive so can run and jump better than someone with 2 leg drive.

When we got back to the truck Mum was really tired and she looked like a poodle with her curly hair, I've never noticed that before and I couldn't help but laugh.

We drove back to the log cabin and Olga had a quick dip in the loch to clean the remaining mud off her, I did a quick sweep of the garden to make sure no-one had been in whilst we were out. The man next door had been monstering as well, but hadn't caught anything either, I told him my Dad had caught the loch each morning, so was obviously a much better monsterer than him.. J

This has been the best day up to now, I love this place… and I will find out where the loch goes at night time, and where the white cloud comes from in a morning, if it’s the last thing I do, I think I might have to stay up all night watching it!

See you all tomorrow

Love Louis and Olga xx
