Persistent snow cover during the 1962-63 winter in Rum gave the vegetation an uncharacteristic bleached look in March. Papadil Lodge had a roof in 1963. The group in the rowing boat were mountaineers having a rest-day. They found the boat and oars on the shore of the loch, but there were no rowlocks. So they borrowed the rowing boat and propelled it canoe-style with the oars as paddles!
