WALKING TRIPS IN SCOTLAND: EXPLORING THE FAR NORTH WEST
Walking trips in Scotland take place across the country. The most northerly reaches of mainland Scotland are still remote and under-developed even though the NC500 passes through the area. We plan to discover more of the secrets of the area during a week exploring. We’ll be doing hill walking and will make attempts to take in the views from the summits of Ben Hope, Ben Klibreck, Foinaven and Arckle if the weather allows. So bagging the most northerly Munros this week. All walks will be guided hiking in Scotland.
We have a lighter day scheduled. If you want we’ll head in to have a look at Sandwood Bay or alternatively for a complete day or relaxation we could head into Durness Craft village, visit Smoo Cave or similar.
There are so many options for hikes in the area it is difficult to select the few we’ll be able to do during this week.
On this trip there will be some long days out but the rewards will be stunning.
