Northwest passage

How long have we all been in “lockdown” .. honestly I’m at the point it’s hard to remember how the before tikes felt but I’m slowly starting to emerge from my imposes cocoon and get out and about .

No alpine ice or airy ridges – but feet on the ground , at least one summit , fantastic views around the highlands and even some guest of the antlered ( and not) variety.

Some photos below of a short trip around Torridon /Assynt and sorrounding area in May , including a stay at Achnasheen ( near Loch Maree) and a summit of a flag bound Assynt classic Stac Pollaidh

View from our Achnasheen cottage
Stac Pollaidh ( I promise )

Our Antlered breakfast visitor and his friends at the local hotel ( ex hunting lodge ironically)
The unparalleled ( actually Glencoe might!) Glen Torridon – no summits here this trip ( see previous posts ) but some walking and just soaking up the sun
The amazing Urquhart castle , on Loch Ness – from Iron Age hill fort to comfy home and to ruin and now preserved – a must see
c.2000 BCE Chambered Cairn with stone circle – incredible !
Garbh Bheinn nr Kinlichleven – super hot day just half way for a leg stretch – but stunning views

Hopefully lots more adventures soon ! You’ll see em here ( plus new kit in test !) – stay safe and happy trails all .
