Picnic

As National Picnic Week draws to a close, Bridget checks out some of the best locations in Scotland to set out your fayre
O
K, so we’re in the last weekend of National Picnic Week, but that doesn’t mean we’re a few sandwiches short of a picnic yet...does it? Unless Minnie has been around – in which case, we could well be! Our dog is not known for her manners when it comes to scoffing whatever food she can get hold of, especially during picnic season, when I have to watch for her making a dive for anything in reach. Of course, with the school holidays almost upon us, picnics are both child and dog-friendly and an easy way for us to eat when we’re on holiday. Having just enjoyed the hottest May on record in the UK (and especially Scotland) for the past 200 years, I hope this good spell of weather may last just a little bit longer. The best picnic spot in Scotland for 2018 is Glenkiln Sculpture Park near Dumfries, with last year’s winner the Fairy Pools on Skye as runner-up, but if you’d like to vote for your favourite picnic location for next summer, then visit nationalpicnicweek.com Other contenders were Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park; Pollok Country Park near Glasgow and the Cairngorms National Park. These locations were chosen due to their outstanding natural beauty, cultural significance and broad range of settings, offering something for everyone. I would like to add a few suggestions of my own… The picture-perfect East Neuk village of St Monans will be host to several foodie markets this summer. The first Bowhouse Food Weekend kicks off from July 7-8 2018 on the Balcaskie Estate (balkaskie.co.uk). With so many tempting stalls from local food and drink producers, there will be ample opportunity to stock up on picnic items and then head to the nearby harbour or beach at Elie to graze in the sun.
If the weather isn’t so hot, then the Speyside Cooperage at Craigellachie has novel picnic tables in oversized whisky casks. You can also watch a demonstration on the ancient art of coopering – as well as nip along to one of the nearby distilleries for a dram. Canoeing, paddle boarding or rowing on lochs to an idyllic, shore-side picnic spot is fun. For water sports lovers, Red Original (redoriginal.com) has come up with the perfect waterproof picnic cool bag and deck bag suitable for a paddleboard – as well as a onehand insulated drinks bottle which,
If the weather isn’t so hot, then the Speyside Cooperage at Craigellachie has novel picnic tables in oversized whisky casks incidentally, can be used to chill white wine as well as keep soup hot. Families may want to try out the pedalos on the lagoon at The Helix where the Kelpies provide a panoramic backdrop for picnics as well as walks, cycle paths, swings and chutes to keep youngsters entertained. Or have a safari picnic and visit the nearby Falkirk Wheel, too, for dessert, perhaps taking a boat tour to test out the engineering marvel. Or why not enjoy a night-time picnic in the Dark Sky Park at Galloway Forest Park – or anywhere away from light pollution? Scotland has some of the largest expanses of dark sky in Europe and a canopy of stars above the picnic blanket would make a night to remember. For more information on the above destinations, go to visitscotland.com

Deployed troops pull together A
FGHANISTAN-based troops from 1st Battalion, Welsh Guards mixed it up with multinational colleagues in a demanding test of military and teambuilding skills. The soldiers joined colleagues from the UK-led Kabul Security Force, taking part in disciplines including mock casualty evacuations, weapons handling and a test of knowledge of Afghan history. There was also a hotly contested tug of war competition and a stretcher race. Force spokeswoman Sqn Ldr Karen Swanston (RAF) said personnel from countries including the US, Denmark, Finland and Australia as well as the UK were split into mixed teams. “This was an exercise to hone joint working between our nations," the officer explained. “We wanted to get participants from different partner countries together and they responded really well – the event was a great success.”

The first of the new Kru lifejacket collection to make its appearance for 2018 was the high performance Kru Sport Pro, which is designed to perform in the most advanced conditions. The jacket is available as standard or as an ADV model, so-called because of its advanced features, which include a lifejacket light, sprayhood and UML Pro Sensor Elite operating head, all fitted as standard. The major design improvement includes a much lower profile scoop neck design which together knowing it will stay dry, and safe. It is made from 100 per cent waterproof TPU fabric and includes a YKK aquaseal zip. While we did not try it on a stand-up paddle board, this is one of the ideal uses as it attaches to the board. Other useful features are external bungees and D rings to easily connect more kit. We even got some marks on the bag accidentally, but they were wiped off easily without leaving marks/water marks. Did we say it is light weight too? A great addition to any sailor’s kit. £115 | redoriginal.com
