We'll travel overland to the west coast of Scotland, through the south central highlands with their spectacular mountain views. We may camp in this area along the way, and take time for some light trekking. This is an area worth seeing. It is one that seems simultaneously alive with the ghosts of ancient culture and yet eternally wild, almost impenetrable by modern civilization. We'll paddle the western isles near Oban, a relatively protected area with a large number of islands to explore.
Common seals are numerous and curious.
Mackerel are abundant, so we may well catch our dinner some evenings. Except on the smallest islands, our tent site will often be within hiking distance to a local pub. All meals, boats, and paddling gear are provided. Ground transportation is also provided. Please inquire about special air fare possibilities before making final travel arrangements to Newcastle.
