Canoe and Climb (3 Lochs and Suilven)

Suilven

This iconic mountain is probably the most distinctive mountains in the UK and also one of the longest walk ins (25K +). So why walk? Canoe for a day and a half then make camp at the foot of the mountain. Ascend at a leisurely pace the next day and return to camp for early evening fishing or enjoying this remote area .

• A 4 day Scotland Wilderness journey, within the Inverpolly National Nature Reserve
• 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, in tents or simply 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 in private rooms in Ullapool YHA and evening meal (drinks will not be included in this) and breakfast the following morning.
