MAM SODHAIL & SGURR NA LAPAICH 8.30am Hard £35

A serious mountain expedition within the Glen Affric NNR, climbing Sgurr na Lapaich (1036m) & Mam Sodhail (1181m). We traverse steep sided ridges and bag several tops, whilst enjoying spectacular views and remote countryside from the highest mountain between the Great Glen and Iceland! This is THE classic walk in this range of mountains, with views all around as we stand on the summit cairns. Our route leads us through Coire Leachavie, passing mountin top ruins left by the surveyors in days gone by, before reaching the mighty cairn on Mam Sodhail. Our intended route home is along the 4km ridge to Sgurr na Lapaich before descending to Affric lodge.

RSPB BLACK GROUSE SAFARI Corrimony Reserve £10

The best way to see the black grouse at Corrimony is to come on this guided 'safari'. At the 'lek', the male grouse put on an extraordinary display close to the track as they compete to become the top bird. Get up closed and personal with this extraordinary species. It's an early start, so why not book a breakfast treat in the locol cafe afterwards?

CANADIAN CANOEING along Strathglass 10am £35

If you really want to discover the ancient caledonian landscape, viewing the straths from a completely different perspective, then paddling is for you. Leaving the other visitors behind we will take a journey along the River Glass, winding around the ox bow lakes and finding a remote spot for lunch. Only accompanied by tranquillity and solitude, travel by canoe also provides a great opportunity to spot the wildlife along the way.  Open topped and paddled with a single bladed paddle, canoes are stable and easy to control, making them the ideal way to travel through this wilderness. The canoes can be paddled solo, or with two, and can even take a passenger. Come join the adventure.....
