Some pics from a multi day wild camping trip to the Inverpollaidh area in the far northwest - with an aim to introducing my very keen wee girl - Kimberly - to kayaking, wild camping & wilderness trips. After sorting out the logistics of taking my seven year old on such a trip, it turned out to be a very rewarding experience for us all...who knows, it might even grow into something lifelong...the next generation.
Camping in the Inverpollaidh area...Ben Mor Coigach in the background..
Getting in some practice.
Rigging up a stable catamaran type thingey for the wean...worked a treat.
A wild windswept peninsula with awsome character....loch Osgaig with the peaks of stac polladidh, cul beag & ben mor as a backdrop.
....and fine beaches...the mighty ridge of Suilven in the top right background.
The delight on the weans face makes up for the constraints & logistical burden of bringing her along....
And of course the troops still managed to squeeze in plenty of beers & banter....
