April’s Ardnamurchan Adventure
Friday 18th to Sunday 20th of April, 2008
Situated on the remote West Coast of Scotland, Ardnamurchan is a long, narrow peninsula along the shores of Loch Sunart and marks the most westerly tip of the British Mainland. Morvern, alongside it, flanks the other side of Loch Sunart and the sound of Mull. The name is derived from the Gaelic A' Mhorbhairn, meaning Sea-Gap.
Ardnamurchan is Scotland at its most beautiful, with highlights including unpopulated beaches, ancient Atlantic oakwoods and a wealth of wildlife – otters and porpoises are a common sight in the surrounding waters.
Location |
Glenborrodale Castle, Ardnamurchan, Argyll |
Dates |
Friday 18th to Sunday 20th of April |
Tasks |
We will be clearing yet more rhododendron (blame the Victorians) from the woodland at Ardnamurchan. This may well include a bonfire! |
Accommodation |
We will be staying in two holiday cottages at Ardnamurchan. There will be showers, but the floor will sadly not be heated. |
Food |
Dinner on Friday and Saturday as well as breakfast and lunch on Saturday and Sunday will be included in the cost of the weekend. |
Transport |
Transport to and from the site is included in the cost from the city centre of Edinburgh. |
Pick-up time |
We will collect people from outside Jimmy Chungs Chinese Restaurant on Waverley Bridge in Edinburgh at 6.00 pm on the Friday (please note earlier pick-up time) and will return to the spot for about 5 pm on the Sunday. |
The cultural bit |
Ardnamurchan has some of Scotland’s best scenery on offer and so there will be time to spend a few hours looking around the area, while we hope to take a trip on the Corran Ferry either on the outgoing or return trip. |
Cost |
£25/£20 (waged/unwaged) per person for the weekend |
