Itinerary
The following itinerary may be altered based on weather conditions.
- You will be met in Inverness at 8am, or outside Fort William Train Station at 10am, and transferred to Mallaig where you will board the ferry to Eigg.
- You will head out on a hiking/wild camping adventure on relatively easy terrain – although it will mostly be off-track. You will cross the island to a pristine beach where you will pitch your tents for the first night in the wild.
- Continuing around the island, you will reach An Sgurr. At 393m, this is the highest point on Eigg and offers panoramic views around the entire island.
- You will then descend to the rugged sea cliffs for a second night of wild camping on Eigg
- Continuing a circuit around the coast of Eigg and visiting the famous massacre and cathedral caves, you will head back to the port and board the next boat to the national nature reserve of Rum. With no roads, you will truly explore this island wildness, hiking around the coastline (first night in a remote valley at the foot of The Rum Cuillin)
- You will spend a day climbing the local hills culminating in a ridge traverse to the highest point on the island (the summit of Askival), returning back to base camp for the night.
- Breaking camp in the morning, you will hike north, up the glen and over the mountain pass. You will descend into the next valley and along to the mausoleum and western beaches of the island.
- You will continue on your Rum adventure on good tracks to the pure white sands on the Northern side of the island. Camping on the cliffs as the sea crashes below you, the sunsets here are spectacular!
- You will end your journey on Rum with a hike along good tracks across the island back to the port, for a late boat trip to Canna.
- On arrival, you will take a short hike to the highest point on the island before returning to a campsite for the night. Your final dinner of this wild adventure will be in the cosy local pub.
- This is an additional day included in case of bad weather that may affect any day of hiking or a ferry crossing. If it is not required, we will spend an additional day to further explore any one of the islands
- Getting up early, you will hike over to Sanday to view the raised beaches, hut circles and rugged-cliff coastline before returning to the port for a ferry off the island and back to the Scottish mainland (and relative civilisation).
- You will then be driven back to Fort William for your return home (expect to be back in Fort William at around 3pm)
