The Empty Quarter
Grade 2, Grade 3
8th May 2011 - 13th May 2011
£0.00 per person
Empty of people, maybe, but not of hillwalking interest. This is the very distinctive wilderness of Assynt and NW Sutherland, where the superlatives really start to flow - ‘island mountains’ rising abruptly from a vast, lochpitted tableland. The sense of space is superb. We could go on but to say these are the most eye-catching of mountains with fantastic walking.

Explore whisky country to the fullest with Mountain Innovations on this Speyside walking holiday. Walk the smugglers’ routes and taste (not compulsory) connoisseur’s whisky under the expert guidance of Mike Drury @ the Whisky Castle, Tomintoul – home to the world’s largest bottle of whisky.

Grade 2, Grade 3
5th June 2011 - 10th June 2011
£0.00 per person
This is mountain walking for the connoisseur. Arran may lack Munros but its granite mountains are spectacular. Angular peaks and jagged ridges dissected by deep valleys provide some of the most entertaining walking on offer. This, all in an island setting with views stretching to the distant mainland ranges - Scotland in miniature.
Midsummer Cairngorm Backpacking
Grade 3
24th June 2011 - 26th June 2011
£0.00 per person
If you’re looking to totally immerse yourself in the mountains, then there’s no better way than backpacking. If you want the perfect place to do it, then look no further than the Cairngorms. We avoid the repeated long ups and downs of other ranges. Once the gently undulating ‘plateau’ edge is gained, we’re left to relax & enjoy - an ideal introduction to backpacking.
