A walk in the park with a Piper!

18 March, 2012 by Alistair

So it was a beautiful day for the opening ceremony – we had sunshine, a breeze and even flies at one point (of course we also had strangers asking us for our whiskey and a kid with a dog where we wanted to fish but that’s another story)

Jim Burns - Legend

Oh, and remember – for Kelvin chat please join up at the Kelvin Forum….

..where you can post pics of trips or ask advice on tactics etc.

The “K” board –a single stream of thought,talk and opinions. We don’t have sections to confine us as neither does life. There is a thread and post “voting” system in place – if a post is given an undefined number of down-votes the post will disappear into the ether. This means that the mighty “K” board is Kelvinator moderated – kinda just like real life.

If you join you can see serious characters like these guys who fish far too close to each other yet make a fine photo:

Kelvinators - always up for a photo!

This week is the time to get my shit together – sparse flies need tied and new tippet has been bought.

Its all happening!

    Lovely hearing the piper walk everyone down to the stream. I do have a question though, I know you Scots take your piping serious, but by chance do you have one do the same thing when you walk to say the market, or maybe when you walk your dogs in the evening?

    And where I come from, we’d toast everyone then the river, drink ALL the whiskey, and then throw ourselves in.
