Day by Day Itinerary
Please note this is conditions dependent so schedule could change.

Day 1
Arrive at any time! Rest after your journey and get settled into your home for the week. Borgie lodge is situated in the River Borgie Glen surrounded by some of the last remaining wilderness in Europe- one mile from Torrisdale Beach, a short walk to the Borgie Forest and wild Lochs a mere 15 minutes walk away. Take in the stunning scenery before meeting the rest of the group for a tasty dinner. The Lodge has its own walled garden surrounded by mature trees, pond and lots of cosy outdoor seating areas including a fire pit. Also has a dedicated drying room, 3 log fires and a bar the perfect place to relax after a day of adventuring.

Day 2
After breakfast, you'll follow us through the winding roads to one of the amazing beaches where you will have a beginner/improver surf lesson! After drying off we'll fill our bellies with lunch. For the afternoon enjoy some free time exploring the area yourself or join us on a walk to a lesser known spot while we tell quirky local tales. We will run a yoga session to stretch off after our surf and winde down before dinner. Enjoy another delicious dinner at Borgie lodge. After, how about kicking back to some projected movies?

Day 3
We'll start the day chasing the waves along the beautiful points with crystal clear waters and have another surf lesson. We'll take your surfing to the next level or simply splash around in the sea. After a lunch stop, we'll move to one of the hidden coves/ lochs and take you on a stand up paddleboarding tour! After a busy day, relax in the evening and re join us for a bonfire at sunset.

Day 4
Have a chilled out morning before having lunch on the hill. This afternoon you'll embark on a challenging route to capture a sunset from a Munro summit with an exciting nightime descent under the stars or if you prefer we can set off earlier to capture the best part of the daylight and marvel at the fabulous scenery.

Day 5
Today is a full day out with Nick exploring the best birdwatching sites. The lochs , pools & lonely blanket bogs of Sutherland and Caithness- known as The Flow Country are renowned for their amazing variety of breeding bird species. This is a very special & unique habitat where in the Spring and early summer evocative species such as Greenshank, Golden Plover, Common Sandpiper, Snipe, Cuckoo, Osprey and Merlin can be met with a host of other iconic species including Sea Eagle, Wheatear, Grasshopper Warbler, Rock Pipit & Red and Black Throated divers are also present in this superbly wild landscape.

Day 6
You'll be transported off with Nick again to discover the Strathnaver trails. If your feeling like a refreshing dip after the walk you can join Andi for some wild swimming at a beautiful, hidden spot!
Meet the Team!
