The Wilderness of Assynt- 5/3/2 days

This wild expedition will see us explore the stunning and wild coastline of Assynt.  We will choose our passage as the elements choose the day journeying along this rugged coast, exploring coves and caves and weaving our way between skerries.  The ocean has sculpted this sandstone coastline to leave us with dramatic rocks, towering sea stacks and amazing cliffs. 

We will travel along the rugged coastline of Assynt discovering islands, caves, arches and white sands.  There we will come across the scattered crofting townships, with many interesting and important historical and archaeological sites, such as ancient Viking brochs.  As we head north we will find an island where we will be out numbered by the seals and many hidden glens awash with native rowan, hazel, birch and alder. 

The many summits of Quniag will rise from the coast as we near the head of the fjord of Glencoul.  We journey up this beautiful loch to see the highest waterfall in the UK 'Eas a' Chual Aluinn' and look in awe at the Moine Thrust, an outstanding piece of geological history.  We will set up camp by white sand beaches, on uninhabited islands and hidden magical glens. 

On this trip you will not only be surrounded by unspoilt beauty and nature in all its shapes and forms, but by some of the most interesting history, culture and geology Scotland has to offer.  If there are days when the weather is not favourable for us to take to the seas, there are endless walks, climbs and sites of interest to keep us on our toes.
