Nessy, Nessy, where for art thou Nessy?

Contrary to my own beliefs, I did not really find the Loch Ness Monster.



Wassup Nessy

But no wonder she can’t be found – Loch Ness is the second longest, second deepest, and has the highest volume of water of any of the Lochs in Scotland. With a depth of over 600 feet at its deepest point, with extensive caves and black water, Nessy has us all fooled.



A fish called Nessy

We took a cruise on the Loch for £12, monitoring sonar equipment for USO’s (Unidentified Swimming Objects), and heard many different theories and stories of sightings. The boat’s guide swore he had seen one of Nessy’s humps six years ago. 

 

I found Nessy!

It rained and was cold before we got on the boat, but the clouds parted for our hunting mission. That £10,000 reward is worth getting wet for!

Our absolute favourite part of the trip was performing the Nessy Haka, inspired by that of New Zealand. Our Haggis Adventures tour guide, Chris, assured us that if we believed, and performed this dance in Nessy’s honour, she would appear to us.
“Come to me, come to me, Nessy, Nessy!” we chanted and chanted, calling out, “I believe!”


Finding Nessy

But she must have been washing her hair and did not hear us.

The dance was ridiculous but was the most fun of the whole tour.

I’m glad that Nessy stayed hidden, it’s much more interesting that way. Last September sonar equipment picked up a huge USO, which they believe is evidence the monster exists.

The Loch is so vast and the water so dark, Nessy won’t be found unless she wants to be. Go you good thing!
