TORRIDON 8 DAY TREK

 

Coire Lair

Sue and Bridget are with me on a 8 day trek in the fabulous Torridon area. The two ladies are regular clients who I've guided in The Alps and in Scotland a few times now. This week long trek which I devised isn't run by any other company. It is a fabulous mix of walking through stunning and remote glens with a few days of summiting some of the best mountains on the planet. Day 1 starts at Achnashellach and finishes at Annat, near Torridon village.

Fuar Tholl and Golden Eagles

Loch Torridon 

It was a dry day and great views with cloud base off the summits. 5 minutes after setting off from Achnashellach we spotted at least 1 Golden Eagle. What a great start to the day. The track that runs through Coire Lair is just wonderful and easy..stunning scenery. Only the final hour into Torridon did we get some light rain. A top first day.
