Waterfall near raised beach After wild camping on the raised beach nearby we thought that we wouldn't see another person for quite some time; however, this man on a powerboat travelled from the inner section of Loch Tarbet, and then rowed ashore on a dinghy. Initially bemused by his intentions, we quickly realised that he was using an industrial trimmer to clear a path through head-high ferns surrounding the waterfall.
