Fisherfield Raid
Grade:
(Grade explanation)
Our expedition to these wild mountains allows a chance to experience one of Scotland’s most dramatic wilderness areas. The aim is to explore the tops of "the big six" whilst camping in this mountain fastness.
Backpacking and wild camping are required.
NB. Due to the remote nature of the trip and lack of easy escape routes, participants should ensure that they have a high enough level of fitness to enable them to complete at least the linear parts of this holiday in full (days 1 and 4). The ability to carry 30-35lbs is essential. The hill walks on days 2 and 3 are long and demanding, over rough and mainly unpathed terrain, so again fitness for such walks is important for full enjoyment.
