I stayed with a group of 12 people at Kinlochmoidart house - an old manor house which looks like a museum crammed with lots of stuff from the 19th and 20th centuries. Awsome place.
From there we took our tours through wet swamplike fields and up steep rocky slopes.
The area is full of woods with moss covered old oak trees, you just feel like walking through a haunted forest all the time. If there is no wood you have vast wet grass plains with hidden pools for the unwary traveller and steep rocky mountains set next to lochs and lochans (smaller lochs).
It's been my very first hiking tour and I loved it! I loved to wander the barely recognisable paths, loved the wind and the rain, loved the raw undisturbed nature.
The most memorable moment was indeed when I finally reached the summit of a mountain after fighting heavy rain, fog and a wind that almost blew me off the ridge.
I will definitely do more tours like this one. Next is actually in August.
Right now I relax in Edinburgh which is a really nice place to hang out. Tomorrow I'll head to Sheffield to visit dear friends.
Enjoy the pictures.
