Loads of them Will. A ranger told me they had a charity( lomond lifeboat) run on the Loch that morning around 40 of them . They are trying to improve their image after coming very close to being banned due to their behaviour 2 years ago .
She said its working and they had a lot less complaints last year.
Probably most of the bams who ran out and bought them with all that free covid cash are now bored with them and are no longer causing chaos on the Loch.
I was told the number of jetskis registered on the Loch between lock downs during and post covid had doubled.
No way the Loch could have sustained that amount of chaos.

Be nice just to be able to “Pop over” for a look.

When at the slip and your trailer and van are below the high water mark it’s hard to compute that at times like this, There is so much more water filling it up even with a big outflow at one end.

Down here Anglian Water give all the excuses other than it’s their own fault that our ressies are down 10-15 ft and more, with all the free water rushing to the sea.

It's about half a hr from my house .
The bottom pic is the out flow right at the beginning of the river Leven . And it is way up from normal . The water is under a foot away from the top of the concrete slip so very high just now.
Hardly surprising though as its been raining almost constantly since November.

Was on the big loch took my daughter on a cruise the loch was over the car park had to walk the plank to get on

It's amazing how quickly such a massive body of water can come up .
A mate of mine got flooded in his tent at the other big Loch further north last year.
