The Empty Quarter - walking in Scotland: remote north-west
The Empty Quarter - walking in Scotland
Arrive: Fraoch Lodge on Saturday 14th May 2011, preferably before 7 pm.
Day 1: We head Northwest for the dramatic looking peak of Quinag. The array of rocky features belies a relatively easy but exhilarating tramp in typical Assynt splendour.
Day 2: We climb Cul Mor. Standing head and shoulders above its neighbours it’s a formidable peak. Fortress like, it dominates the view across the loch strewn wilderness to the Atlantic beyond.
Day 3: With Ben Mor Coigach you couldn’t ask for more. It has complex landforms, a nice ridge, and several tops. The biggest advantage of BMC is that you can see Suilven, Stac Pollaidh, Culs Mor and Beg all in one view from here, with the Summer Isles and An Teallach, Beinn Dearg and Fannichs, and Western Isles filling the remaining quarters
Day 4: A day off for us all. It’s a chance to explore the area a little more, the day is rounded off with us all going out to dinner at a
local restaurant.
Day 5: Suilven - The area's most depicted mountain - its western prow stands ahead of this mountain. The approach is a wonderful gander leading to an
enthralling ascent of this incredible peak.
Day 6: Head up to Stac Pollaidh before heading back to Fraoch Lodge. This modest but striking mountain gives a superb viewpoint to view the week’s routes.
Depart: on Saturday 16th May after breakfast
