Canoe Expedition

Inverpolly Canoe Expedition 2017

Our Canoe adventure brings us right up into the North West Highlands of Scotland. Our journey takes us through a system of glacial lochs which allows us access to some of the most beautiful and remote peaks on the British Isles. This truly is a wilderness experience, loading up our open-canoes with all the supplies we need for the week and camping out in one of the most beautiful areas of Scotland.

Trip Itinerary

Day 1 – Ireland to NW Scotland Via Belfast.

We load up the mini-bus with all the equipment we need for the trip and hit the road for the Highlands.

Day 2 – Canoeing down Loch Veyatie & Fionn Loch.

After breakfast, we load up the canoes and head east down through Loch Veyatie & Fionn Loch to our first campsite under the magnificent Suilven.

Day 3 – Ascent of Suilven.

We can make our ascent on Suilven by a route very few people have access too. We then have the afternoon to relax and take in the surrounding views.

Day 4 – Canoeing Fionn Loch and portaging into Loch Sionascaig.

The ‘Big Day’ – after breakfast we again head east down Fionn Loch where we can portage our boats and gear over into Loch Sionascaig. We set up camp on a tiny island in the middle of Loch Sionascaig which has some truly spectacular views of Suilven, Cul Mor, Cul Beag and Stac Pollaidh.

Day 5 – Canoeing Loch Sionascaig  & ascent of Cul Mor.

We head west across Loch Sionascaig to the foot hills of Cul Mor where we can begin our ascent.

We have a short portage into Loch Buine Moire, after a small but beautiful paddle we meet the bus and head back to Ullapool for a well-deserved shower and meal in one of the many restaurants.
