10-13 May Loch Morar
Loch Morar is a very beautiful, wild inland loch. As such, it has no campsites or facilities and so this will be a self-sufficient wild camping trip. The access road is a very narrow single-track road which runs only a short way along the northern shore and parking for cars and trailers is limited. Launching is via the estate's slipway accessed from this road. The estate does not charge for use of this slipway by non-powered boats but will charge for boats with outboards. The aim will be to sail down to the eastern end of the Loch, where there is a bothy set among impressive mountain scenery, with ample space for camping outside. Launching arrangements must be made with the estate, so it is essential to contact the rally host if wishing to attend. Host: Bill Haylock |
