Wild Knoydart
August 28- September 2 2027

EXPED NO.- EAEX0062

The last great wilderness area in Great Britain and accessible only by boat or a 20 mile walk.

Our Wild Knoydart expedition explores Scotlands ‘Rough Bounds’ via Scotlands deepest fresh water loch, Loch Morar, home of the mythical monster ‘Morag’ who after Nessie, is among the most written about of Scotland's legendary monsters. A 1k portage will then take us into Loch Nevis, a magnificent sea loch surrounded by mountains, great scenery and remote camp sites and bothy’s. Journeying through the narrows of Kylesknoydart to the sandy beaches at the head of the loch.

Our final paddling day will see us heading out towards the Sea and the remote village of Inverie. With no road access this can be a lively little village, providing us with the opportunity to enjoy a welcome pint in Britain’s remotest Pub. Following a relaxing start to our final day we will return to Mallaig and journeys end taking

advantage of the coastal ferry that supports and links this remote area to ‘mainland’ Scotland.

This is a committing trip and requires paddlers to have some previous experience of Canoeing. Weather and particularly winds can affect our daily plans and progress.
