- This Wilderness voyage encompasses the true nature of a canoe expedition, and takes us on 3 Lochs ( Cam Loch, Loch Veyatie and Fionn Loch) down rivers and a couple of portages
- Camping is remote and wild. We will make camp alongside the lochs, cook on the open fire and sleep under tarps or in tents, under the stars.
- Guided ascent of a truly remarkable and dramatic mountain – Suilven
- Fishing is also allowed on the expedition!
Included in cost: All specialist equipment and instruction. On the expedition all food and drinks will be provided. Also included – your last night’s accommodation and evening meal (drinks will not be included in this) and breakfast the following morning.
Along the route are portages to be done around waterfalls and a fish farm and if the water levels are good descending some river sections.There is usually an opportunity to make progress under sail, fish for your supper and also a chance to see absolutely nobody else!
