[Closed] Kayak/hillwalk in the Highlands. Suggestions?

Sgurr Mor across Loch Quoich?

FWIW - I have seen the future and it involves packrafts 🙂

+1 for Druidh's suggestion.

Throw in Sgurr an Fhuarain while you're there. Pretty epic, you'll need good feet!

Thanks guys. Looking at OS map now. Seems like a good shout. Also looks like scope to head to the Western side of Loch Quoich and into Knoydart.

How about Ladhar Bheinn from Arnisdale?

Isle of Skye: launch at Elgol and kayak to Loch Coruisk, reckoned to be one of the least accessible places in the UK. The loch drains into the sea over a 500 yard glacial sill of flat rocks; we portaged the kayaks and relaunched them on the loch. There's an SMC hut and plenty of places to camp but you could leave the kayaks and walk up the Dubh slabs to grab a couple of Cuillins. You could also paddle round to Camsunary Bay and spend a night at the very good bothy there. The walk around the headland to Coruisk via the Bad Step is good too. It's a fantastically gloomy, forbidding and atmospheric place.

Park at Elphin paddle west along Loch Veyatie then walk up Suilven (one of the very best Scottish hills)

And how far south of Loch Maree is Suilven?

My compass is broke (didn't read that bit)

I'll be climbing in Loch Corusik on Monday 🙂

For future reference I like the idea of going up Loch Veyatie and doing Suilven. I was going to do it once before. Parked at the bridge North of Elphin and paddled into Cam Loch but thought the portage into Veyatie looked a bit fearsome. Turned back and went up Cam Loch a bit before climbing up Canisp. Does anyone know if this portage is as bad as it looks?
Also like the idea of Loch Coruisk but have never paddled on the sea.

Portage eh?
