Fisherfield Wilderness Munro Trek

The Fisherfield Wilderness Treks
Bike 'n' Backpacking Trek into 'The Great Wilderness'
Friday 13th - Sunday 15th May 2022
ABOUT THE TRIP
The Fisherfield Forest contains perhaps the remotest Munros in Scotland. They can be done as separate but very long day walks. But the best way to explore them is backpacking in for a few days. One of the famous 6 Munros has been demoted from Munro status to a Corbett but is a majestic hill. Add potentially difficult river crossings, there's no wonder the view from A'Mhaigdean is considered the best in Britain - given the effort to get there!
Munros:
Sgurr Ban (989m / 3,245ft)
Mullach Coire Mhic Fhearchair (1,019m / 3,343ft)

Difficulty: The approximate total distance & ascent is 45.5km / 28.2 miles distance and 2,955m / 9,695ft ascent. There are some good tracks as well as some pathless sections with short scrambling sections. We will be cycling in toward Poolewe along good tracks with a few rough spots. We'll then leave the bikes secure and hidden away. We may be carrying our camping equipment for two nights and three days walking. It is always hoped that we can get a spot to set up camp and have lighter packs for the three days but this is not always possible. These trips are always an epic - it's not The Great Wilderness for nothing!
Cost: The three days guiding costs £199 per person (if booking for one person) with discounts for booking more people. 16-18 year old's are welcome if accompanied by a parent or guardian. You will need to provide your own transport and accommodation before/after the trip.
Numbers: I can take a maximum of 6 and a minimum of 2 in order to run the events. If there are fewer than the minimum numbers booked you'll get a full refund. If you want to book for more than 6 please get in touch.
