Monday 10th October 2022 We were relieved to see the skies looking much brighter this morning and although the weather forecast suggests some chance of rain, it should be nothing like we had yesterday. We drove over to leave one car at Shiel Bridge and then returned to the Glenelg ferry Shore Station and gotContinue reading “Day 247 – Glenelg to Shiel Bridge 16 miles 2280′ of ascent.”

Sunday 9th October 2022 This morning we had to drive for over three hours to get to Corran. The severe weather has meant that nearly all ferries have been cancelled. We left one car at the Glenelg Ferry Shore Station and drove on down to Corran to start our walk. We used the facilities atContinue reading “Day 246 – Corran to Glenelg  13.5miles 1575′ of ascent.”

Monday 12th September 2022 Today’s walk was a relatively straightforward walk out of Kinloch Hourn to bring us back into civilisation at Corran; the only complication is a river crossing. It was an interesting walk today and so we have lots of photos. We had a good breakfast at Lochhournhead and with only the contentsContinue reading “Day 245 – Kinloch Hourn to Corran 8.8 miles 1631’ of ascent”

Sunday 11th September 2022 We caught the ferry from Mallaig to Inverie arriving at 9.30. On weekdays there is a 7.00 ferry which would have given us more time for the walk which is quite strenuous and we were carrying more gear than usual. I had great anxiety about this walk having tacked it onContinue reading “Day 244 – Inverie to Kinloch Hourn 15.5 miles 3268’ of ascent”

Saturday 8th October 2022 Today we are embarking on the next wild Scottish peninsula; that of Knoydart. This peninsula is functionally an island though geographically a peninsula. It has no road access and only a single village, that of Inverie. It is serviced entirely by sea. The nearest road access is at Kinloch Hourn whichContinue reading “Day 243 – Inverie to Inverie 14.6 miles 1700′ of ascent.”

Friday 7th October 2022 Today’s walk should be fairly simple and being short will provide us with a rest afternoon before we go to Knoydart tomorrow. From Arisaig we walked along the track towards Keppoch House but turned off before the house onto a track that heads north to join the B8008 near Achraig. ThereContinue reading “Day 242 – Arisaig to Mallaig 10 miles 840′ of ascent.”

Thursday 6th October 2022 We drove back to Roshven to resume walking. Roshven is not so much a place as a vague collection of houses. The sky was heavy with cloud and rain not far away; we started off with full waterproofs on. Most of today’s walk is on main roads. We continued up theContinue reading “Day 241 – Roshven to Arisaig 16.3 miles 1800′ of ascent”

Wednesday 5th October 2022 Today we are moving on from the studio flat in Kilchoan and so we will have a lot of driving which I hate. We drove to Roshven and left the hired Kia there and returned to Acharacle and parked the Subaru opposite the church and then set off. The heavy overnightContinue reading “Day 240 – Acharacle to Roshven 14 miles 2100′ of ascent”
