Glacial Lochs and Isolated Sandstone Peaks-3/4/5 day
A famous canoe journey into one of the most pristine wilderess areas in Scotland-not to be missed
The journey starts in the hamlet of Elphin. We will pack our boats for expedition, being completely self sufficient on our journey. There will be time to get to grips with our kayaks before we paddle into the heart of Loch Veyatie and find a camp for the night. The next day sees us journey up Fionn Loch with the magnificent mountain of Suilven emerging before our eyes; this is one of the most pristine wilderness areas in Scotland. On that same day we will ascend Suilven (or do an alternative walk) and make our camp at the head of the loch, where we can watch the sun set over our great achievement. Views don’t come much better than this.
The journey then has two options to retrace our paddles or to 'portage' our kayaks into Loch Sionascaig . If time allows us this is a great option and sees us set up camp on a beautiful island surrounded by the sandstone peaks of Cul Mor, Cul Beag and Stac Pollaidh. There will be plenty of exploring time on this trip, time to fish for trout from your kayak and time to take in the awe inspiring views of the wilderness of Assynt.
If you are after a true wilderness experience where you will be amongst nature at its best then this is the trip for you. We have a lot of daylight hours, so we will be able to take our time on this journey, trying to get up close to wildlife and just relaxing and taking in the views. A love for the outdoors and a want to escape into this beautiful wilderness is the only experience necessary for this trip.
