I have recently got back from 7 days in the stunning mountains and glens of the NW Highlands, plenty of rain and a few midges but above all, utter peace and solitude.
Flying up to Inverness I hired a vehicle and set about my journey, my original intention was to hammock where I could. However it soon became clear that would be difficult as the single track roads had no provision for parking and the few I found were strewn with no overnight camping signs. That coupled with a hefty excess on the hire vehicle for damage theft etc led me instead to a lovely wooded campsite in the village of Cannich. I virtually had the place to myself with plenty of hanging space friendly owners and a cracking little onsite café oh and fires allowed, all good!
So for the next 7 days using this as my base I wandered around Glen Affric, Glen Cannich forest and the Fasnakyle forest. taking in Loch Beinn a mheadhoin, loch Affric and Loch Mullardoch.
I'm not going to ramble on instead here are a few photographs to illustrate this beautiful country.
