The Torridon Range
Expedition: March 2019
Departure Friday
15th March; Dublin to Inverness
via Logan Air;
then drive via mini-bus to Ullapool, arriving Friday P.M. and staying at The Caledonian Hotel on Fri/Sat/Sunday night - B@B plus evening meal. Saturday Trek: Torridon; Beinn Alligin - over 980 metres high - a 7 hour trek taking in Tom Na Gruadheach peak and then Scurr Mhor, with an option to proceed to do The Pinnacles - or leave them for another occasion, depending upon weather conditions.
Sunday Trek:
Quinag - a lovely horseshoe trek (with great coastal views when it's fine!) - or else Stac Pollaidh followed by a stop for coffee. This will be a much easier day than Saturday… Departure Monday morning early for Inverness to Dublin flight. The AirCoach or GoBé services are the likely choice for Cork-Dublin Airport and back. Those of us who qualify for Free Travel have a choice of using Irish Rail or the GoBé coach service.

“Climb if you will, but remember that courage and strength are nought without prudence, and that a momentary negligence may destroy the happiness of a lifetime. Do nothing in haste; look well to each step; and from the beginning think what may be the end.” => Edward Whymper (From "Scrambles Amongst the Alps", written in 1871) <=
