Four nights and three days are first spent in Torridon, an area of bulky red sandstone terraced mountains and beautiful rugged coastline. Located within north-west Scotland, these mountains rise straight from sea level out of a vast expanse of wilderness which offers tremendous scope for both lower level and mountain walking. There are sea-lochs and freshwater lochs, many fast flowing rivers, waterfalls and high mountain lochans. This is a remote and rugged setting and just being in this area is a humbling experience.
We then move even further north into the areas of Coigach an Assynt - one of the last remaining wilderness areas of Europe. If Torrion was impressive, then this area is truly remarkable - a rugged, rocky foreland sculpted by glaciers, now riddled with lochans and forming the backdrop to a series of distinctive solitary mountains - Cul Mhor, Stac Pollaidh and Suilven to name but a few. Of slightly smaller stature then the Torridon hills, what these mountains may lose in height, they make up for in character and for years this area has been an inspiration to many. You will not be dissapointed.
