The challenge

  • Trek from the East to West coast of Scotland
  • Emphasis on the preservation of the environment
  • Explore the home of 'The Real Monarch of the Glen'
  • Experience traditional Scottish wildlife resident in Alladale Wilderness Reserve
  • Camp alongside remote bothies and Highland streams

This amazing trek from the East to West Coast of Scotland winds through remote areas of the Highlands. The spectacular landscape of glens and hill lochs provide a dramatic backdrop to this wilderness challenge.  A strong emphasis on the preservation of the environment through camping and trekking means you take part in a really responsible challenge.

Your challenge begins at Bonar Bridge on the East Coast of Scotland.  Called just ‘Bonar’ until the completion of the first bridge across the Kyle of Sutherland in November 1812.   You then trek into the Alladale Wilderness Reserve, located one hour North of Inverness in the heart of the Scottish Highlands.  The breathtaking landscape provides ample opportunity to recharge your spirit and soul during this adventure.

Day 2 sees your challenge head to the remote Glenbeg Bothy 25kms from the nearest road!  This really becomes a wilderness challenge now.  Bothies are found in remote, mountainous areas of Scotland and are particularly common in the Scottish Highlands.  You will camp here overnight next to the bothy and stream. 

From Glenbeg Bothy your final day trekking will take you to Loch Broom, a sea loch where the small town of Ullapool lies on the eastern shore.  Here you will complete your challenge before heading off for a celebratory evening!
