The Affric Kintail Way is a fully signposted, superb cross-country route for walkers and mountain bikers stretching almost 44 - ish miles from Drumnadrochit on Loch Ness to Morvich in Kintail by Loch Duich. Given the proximity to the Great Glen Way (Inverness - Fort William) it is quite possible to extend your route to/from Drumnadrochit to Inverness and enjoy a spectacular coast to coast trek.
The AKW is recommended for experienced travellers and takes in a variety of landscapes with stunning views - ancient drove roads which used to take cattle to market from the west coast, deep lochs, towering glens, ancient woodlands, The Glen Affric National Nature Reserve and an optional stay at the Alltbeithe Youth Hostel the most remote in the Highlands. Some sections can be quite strenuous and there is in excess of 6000 feet of ascent over the course of the trail.

Hi Dave & Lisa. WOW, thank you so much for sharing this adventure with us. That brought back so many memories from a couple of years back. We rented a holiday cottage in Cannich, shopped in the Spar, and had our tea every night next door in the Slater's Arms. It's also where we did our first two Munro's, Tom a' Choinich and Toll Creagach and we walked the full circular of Loch Affric on another day. Brilliant stuff. All the best Dave

@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389 8 месяцев назад

Hey Linda, There was quite a bit of pushing. I was running in empty just before we arrived at the bothy. That break, and food, reenergised us both but, yes, it was quite tough. I’m particularly proud of the drone footage, it’s come out way better than I’d thought. Thank you for messaging! 😁🙏

@highlandhillwalkin 8 месяцев назад

Well done to you both, what great camera work👍. I only done half what you did but twice... Cycled in from Clunnie in and then down to Morvich.... The second time I did it I went round from Morvich and clockwise round Bein Fada, it was very remote on the far side espessially with a bike and on your own and the cobbles on the last bit are good on a mtb 😜👍

Thank you for a beautiful film! It brought back some great memories from when I walked the Affric Kintail Way back in late October 2021 (from Cannich, we had skipped the first stage because we had heard some boring stuff about it ^^ good to know there is now a way to avoid the road section!) Such a beautiful area, and it was amazing to get a bird's eye view thanks to your gorgeous drone footage! I hope you got your pizza! My dream for the end was a hot chocolate, and the disappointment was bitter when we found out that the Kintail Lodge was closed for the season 😅 (and now I always carry some instant hot chocolate powder, that moment must have scarred me 😂)

@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389 8 месяцев назад

Hiya Julie 👋 Firstly, we made it in time for pizza 🍕(just) and it was probably one of the best ever lol 😂 It must have been painful not getting your hot chocolate 🍫… If the Kintail Pitstop was closed, I’d have cried!! 😁 There was quite a bit of pushing but I think the route is better now than when you done it. Not sure if I’d like to walk the first half though. I’m particularly proud of the drone footage, it’s come out way better than I’d thought. Our wee video has obviously brought back memories!

That was an awesome watch, thank you. There’s a massive effort involved in making these types of films, so you deserve loads of kudos for that - the distance you both go beyond the camera before retrieval is impressive and likely adds miles onto your trip!

Hi Bri, thank you! As you say, the scenery really is something else! Incredible! I’m not sure I’ll be talking Hamish (campervan) along that route. Lol 😂 😁🙏

Have been waiting for this one since friends posted a video of you leaving their house in Drum - it didn’t disappoint. You capture your journey through beautiful Glen Affric superbly. Great to see our club (ATMC) hut Strawberry Cottage in the sunshine 👍 Thanks for sharing- it must be some extra effort!!!

Hello Dave and Lisa. I have just discovered your channel and am really enjoying your videos, such fantastic scenery and lovely footage. I have a bit of a random question, which saddle is Lisa using on her fat bike? I have tried plenty of saddles over the years but I've never found anything comfortable over long distances. Many thanks.

@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389 8 месяцев назад

Hi Michelle, Thank you for watching our videos. 😁🙏 We can’t actually remember what the brand is but I think it’s just a cheap one from Halfords. It’s not the most lightweight but well padded and Lisa never has an issue in terms of comfort. Sorry I can’t be more specific. L&D 😊🙏

@michelleproctor2001 8 месяцев назад

Ok, i'll see what Halfords have to offer. Thanks very much for replying, enjoy your next adventure!

@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389 8 месяцев назад

Thanks David. 😁👍The panniers are Revelate Designs and the racks a Topeak rack, not sure if the model though.

Hi, lovely video. What footwear do you use, is waterproof or are you just resigned to wet feet?

@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389 8 месяцев назад

Hi Richard, Thank you! We’re definitely resigned to wet feet which happens more often than not, not always though. We use Salomon trail/hiking shoes which are Gortex (that’s fine until the water goes over the top!) we also use Sealskin socks. 😁👍

You two are showcasing what Scotland offers to stunning effect. Outside Scandinavia there's little freedom like it. One thing though; why do some Scottish RU-vidrs (I live vicariously too much 🤔) avoid the traditional ch sound? Cannick? I had to look it up.
