The loch above Bonawe is fabulous. Remote, mountainous, empty and beautiful. No riffraff here. Curiously this is one of the few places where the old Martin Lawrence and the Clyde Cruising Club Sailing Directions diverge, the latter suggest far more anchorages (as indeed do the Antares charts). For example, Camus an t-Seilisdeire is a wild and beautiful place, fabulous views all around, and yet easy to find and anchor in (particularly now with an Antares chart). I am sure there must be a lot of mountaineering explorations that one could start from these shores. Frank Cowper rated this loch highly too: "The scenery is as wild and beautiful as can be wished, and forms a great contrast to the more sylvan landscape of the lower loch" (Sailing Tours: The Yachtsman's Guide to the Cruising Waters of the English and Adjacent Coasts, Part V, The West Coasts of Scotland, the Orkneys, and the west coast of the North Sea. Frank Cowper, Upcott Gill, London, 1896).
