Lochs and Mountains Adventure
Highlands Scotland

This incredible trip journeys through one of the most pristine wilderness areas of Scotland. Inverpolly in the North West Highlands comprises of undulating heather moorland, peat bogs and lochs. Pockets of birch, hazel and rowan woodland cover the low-lying areas while the skyline is dominated by towering Torridonian Sandstone peaks. Our journey takes us through a system of glacial lochs, allowing us to climb some of the peaks by remote and rarely-trodden routes. At night, we camp on small islands on in sandy coves, basking in the glorious views all around and sit by our small campfire as the sun drops behind the mountains. This is genuinely wild land - golden eagle country - and journeying by canoe allows us to travel quietly and observe the rich and varied wildlife of the region. This is an unforgettable wilderness adventure in one of Scotland’s most beautiful and remote areas.

Trip Highlights
• Canoe through a stunning network of remote lochs that lie within the magnificent Inverpolly mountains
• Camp on isolated beaches and islands with amazing panoramic views of Scotland’s most iconic peaks
• Hike to the high peaks and paddle on our most remote lochs on this genuine wilderness adventure

The best way to experience the truly wild places of Scotland is on a multiday expedition, with camps in remote locations, deep in the mountains. One of the downsides of these trips, however, is all the supplies you need to carry. But imagine setting off on a multi-day trip, perhaps packing a bottle of wine to savour one evening, maybe even a sack of logs for a fire – without the worry of shouldering this load. This is the open canoe experience!

The expedition begins with our guide running an introductory session on the basic skills and safety procedures involved in open canoeing. Then we load up the canoes and paddle off. We follow ribbon lochs and rivers to access spectacular campsites and wilderness areas where wildlife abounds. Your knowledgeable guide will be able to identify any sightings and will to share stories of the history, geography and geology of the area with the group.

The days switch between exploring the watercourses in the canoes and enjoying ascents of nearby mountains by rarely-used routes carrying only a day-sack, having approached by canoe. Some days will involve some portaging - hard work but all part of the experience!

By the end of the expedition, you will leave feeling that you know the area quite intimately. You will have paddled on remote, sparkling lochs, climbed beautiful mountains and enjoyed a genuine wilderness experience. When the time comes to hand back your paddle, we do hope you will find yourself wondering which trip to come on next.
