Family summer holiday

Saturday
We will meet you at the Rhiconich Hotel at 3.00pm. Drive to our car park; unload your equipment into our vehicle, then a 10 minute walk on footpath to Cape Adventure. (Please note it is not possible to drive to our base.) Settle in and meet our staff over a cup of tea at Cape Adventure, followed by an introductory walk to see the areas we will walk, climb and kayak during the week.

Sunday - A Mountain Day - Ben Stack (721m) and Strath Stack
Climb Ben Stack from the north side and descend southwards towards Achfary. Near the base of the mountain, pick up the path along Strath Stack, passing through woodland that leads to the upper Glen and back to your starting point.

Monday - Climbing and Survival Skills
We rock climb and abseil in the morning on a natural crag wall. The climbs appeal to all levels and abilities. After lunch, essential survival skills are learnt for the children's night of Survival. They will learn how to build different types of bivvi, start a fire, find food and water.

Tuesday - Sea Kayaking / Survival
A morning of learning skills and becoming familiar with the sea kayaks in Loch a' Chad-Fi, building up to a sea safari around the sheltered sea loch in the afternoon. "Survival" on an island for the night. This has been designed for the children and will involve making a camp, cooking, collecting wood for a fire and "surviving" for a night. They will be supervised at all times by our staff and will return to our base in the morning. Adults enjoy dinner and a quiet night in!

Wednesday (adults) - A Coastal Walk (Sandwood Bay)
For the adults to enjoy a day walking together. Follow the cliff top from Sheigra, the most north westerly settlement of mainland Britain to Sandwood Bay with its wide sweep of golden sand. A former stopping off point for Viking long ships. Return across the moor along the old peat track.

Wednesday (children) - Cape Challenge
Children relax in the morning after a 'survivors' breakfast, then take part in the an entertaining day of problem solving, challenges, games and fun suitable for all ages, based at Cape Adventure.
