This two day Highland Adventure is for those travellers
for whom a country is best seen through a white water torrent.
Let us guide you from genteel Edinburgh to grade 4 rivers,
golden eagles and back, all in two days and two nights.
Day One
Once we have *picked you up we will drive
you to Perthshire in our 16-seater custom built Mercedes sprinter,
taking in exciting sights such as the Forth Bridges, the foothills
of the Ochils and then on to the mystical Highlands - which
is where your adventure really starts. We will stay just north
of Stirling in the area known as Brave Heart country - where
legends such as William Wallace, Robert the Bruce and Rob Roy
roamed. On arrival at our four star hostel, bunks are allocated,
friends made, food eaten, drinks drunk and great first evening
is enjoyed by all.
Day Two
It’s any early start to make the most of the day.
After a hearty breakfast we will head down to the banks of
the River to begin the white water adventure. This is all
about team work and getting wet. You will head down some
of the fastest waters in the UK. Your experienced guides
will help navigate your raft down the 6 to 10 miles of white
water dealing rapids that range from grade 2 to grade 5 (grade
6 being the highest). You don’t need previous experience
to enjoy this as the guides show you exactly what to do,
when to do it and they will keep you safe (safeish)
Once you have survived this challenge then it’s a quick
stop to grab lunch before embarking on to **Canyoning. Canyoning
consists of swimming through rapids, jumping off cliffs into
pools, rock scrambling and navigating huge waterfalls!!!
This is an ultimate adventure where you have to work both
with and against nature.
Happily exhausted we will take you back for a hot shower
to prepare for an evening of whisky and good food – a
perfect way to reflect on your days’ adventures.
Day
Three
Plenty to do today – Scotland
has superb walking opportunities and we take
full advantage. After breakfast we will stretch
those muscles with a 2 – 3 hour walk
up one of our favourite mountains. The fresh
air, the stunning views, the possibility of
deer and eagles and the mysticism of this landscape
will capture your imaginations and your hearts.
With a fond farewell we will then head back
to *Edinburgh city centre for approx 5pm – true
honorary Scots!
Extra info
*Pick ups and drop offs can be
made from Edinburgh Train station or at Edinburgh
Airport (approx 6pm)
Your driver will be a young and enthusiastic local
guide with a passion for Scotland, its history
and landscape.
**In the colder months we may offer River Bugs
or Rafting down the river Orchy which is a full
day as an alternative to Canyonning.
