A kayaker thought to have travelled from England to Scotland was left up the creek without a paddle, having to be rescued after becoming stuck on an island. The man, who is believed to have travelled from England in breach of coronavirus rules, camped over the Easter weekend on the west side of Inchtavannach, an island in Loch Lomond, southern Scotland. On Tuesday afternoon, having gone for a walk around the island, he found his kayak’s paddle missing on his return, and called the police. Loch Lomond Rescue Boat (LLRB) said it was contacted by the police on Tuesday afternoon and went to the scene to transfer the man to Luss, a village on the mainland. In a Facebook post, LLRB said: “The rescue boat was launched and located the person on the island and safely transferred himself and his equipment over to his car at Aldochlay. LLRB then returned to Luss and stood down. “This person had travelled from England to camp on the island for the Easter weekend. Please could we remind all to stick to the Covid rules and keep people safe.” A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “The local lifeboat service were contacted and the incident handed to them – the man was rescued safe and well.”
