Description

Added by Bertrand Lanneau

An amazing and wild place to spend some days in.

During our 6 months road trip all around Europe, we wanted to meet as most people as we could. Here we spent three days in this amazing and scenic bay surrounded by mountains at Flora and Tom's cottage (http://www.isleofmullcottages.... or http://www.isleofmullcottages....).

In exchange we helped them in the farm and wathever we could do.

Since the frst moment we arrived I saw a waterfall at a small summit not so far from the house. I said to myself that during our stay I should hike at the top of it. After a strong rain, the waterfall was strong than ever so I decided to go.

The hike wasn't that hard but because of the rain, everything was wet (even me...) and really sleepery. Also, it's a really wild place so there no path. You have to create it yourself by following the river and some waterfalls.

It took me 1h30 to do the out and back but the feeling upthere, all by myself, lost in the wild with this incredible view was insanely good!

At the bottom you have one of the cottage, the beach, a mosoleum, and Lochbuie's old post office.

An awesome and wild place to stay. Enjoy!

Bike the Glenuig Loop, Scotland

From the landing in Corran, this loop can be taken clockwise across the Movern and Ardamurchan peninsulas, strips of desolate turf that hike into the sky south-west of Fort William, Scotland's foremost mountain biking and adventure hub. With a handful of Gaelic place names serving as waypoints, the undulating loop to Glenuig serves as an ideal midpoint. Grab lunch at the Glenuig Inn before slic...

Begin the hike at the above coordinates and follow the path a few hundred feet along the road before diverting left through a gate and up an open field.

If you leave before 9:00am, there's a solid c...

Hike the Glenfinnan Viaduct

An incredible hike/walk around the Glenfinnan Viaduct, a famous section of the railway in the United Kingdom. It is a very peaceful place and parking is very easy. There is a small stream in the area and if you go in late August or early September, you'll be surrounded by Scotland's famous wildflowers. This place is truly serene and heavenly - if you're in the area, be sure to stop by! For Har...

Summit Ben Nevis in Scotland

Must do when visiting Scotland. A popular climbing spot, Ben Nevis can be hiked in one day via the tourist route. In Scotland, hiking is called "walking", mountains are "bens", valleys are "glens" and lakes are "lochs" . But don't let the etymology fool you. Although not terribly high in altitude, or technically difficult, this 10 mile "walk" should be taken as a serious mountain outing th...
