OVERVIEWOur Sutherland Trail walking holiday has now been extended to allow more time to climb Suilven and Ben Loyal, also all nights are now in the comfort of a warm hotel or Bed and Breakfast accommodation.
The Sutherland Trail is a new long distance walk through North & West Sutherland from Lochinver to Tongue - a 5 to 8 day (70 to 90 miles) walk with options to climb some of the spectacular mountains in this remote part of Scotland. | Lochinver
|
Tongue
| The route follows ancient pathways, stalkers routes, hill tracks and quiet roads leading the walker on a journey not
just through this unique landscape but also through one of the most geologically fascinating parts of the UK. It passes caves, chambered cairns and the remains of ancient shielings, follows river banks and loch-sides, climbs iconic hills and visits the highest waterfall in Britain. When you tell friends or others that your going to Sutherland, you usually get that blank or confused expression on their face, they think its in a foreign country far away in some forgotten land. In the most part, Sutherland is a forgotten land but alot nearer than most people think, it’s tucked up high in the |
far North-west of Scotland.
It has often been described as ‘the empty land’, much of it is untamed and unpopulated, and the landscape has often been described as ‘moonscape’.The grandeur of this land and it’s history attracts hill walkers and backpackers, who recognise this wild corner of Scotland as one of the UK’s great adventure destinations.
On this walk Sutherland is revealed as a land rich in glorious scenery, wildlife and natural resources, a region that was once vastly more populated than it is today.
:Walking Programme:
This Trail has been broken up into 5 days covering from 12 to 15miles a day. An additional day is provided at the start, to climb Suilven and another at the end, to climb Ben Loyal, a fitting finaly to our long distance walk across this great land.
Our accommodation comprises of a guest house & hotels on a Bed and Breakfast basis, we shall also be supported by a vehicle which will carry our food, water supplies and our luggage, this will keep the weight on your back to a minimum.
