Glen Affric

[familne]

Hi

Just spent a week doing some work up in Glen Affric, probably one of my favourite places!

I love these ancient trees. This one is an old oak covered in polypody fern.

This is Sgurr nan Ceathreamhnan, probably one of the remotest munros.

Never been to that part of the Country, it looks well worth a visit, the tree is amazing, you can almost see a personality there..hes definately winking at me

I enjoy the coast at Arisaig and Keppoch (especially the sea food) and camp there often, looks to be about 30 miles away...LOL just checked I would need to go back to Fort William its 106 miles rom Arisaig

Superb pictures. This is one of my favourite parts of the country too. I spent 2 weeks there in Autumn last year. Some great places in the woods for bushcraft.

Hi

It's not a National Park but it is a National Scenic Area and part of it is in the Strathglass Special Area of Conservation. There are also several SSSI's covering the woodlands.
