27th September to 1st October

5 days of hiking on the Isle of Mull, including the isles of Ulva and Iona.

Our 5 days will focus on gentle hiking over three islands including Mull itself. Distances will be no greater than 10kms / 6 miles with maximum ascent of 500 metres / 1,500 feet, but often will be less). A certain fitness and balance is required and the ability to walk at 3 miles an hour, but this is not hardcore. The hiking is pitched for those who want a gentler approach to exploring these beautiful islands on foot. We will use the minibus to take us to different places around the island, returning to our base in Dervaig in the NW part of Mull. There is much history here too to connect with. For general details, see this link

Rates will reduce as the group grows. Currently we have 3 people for this trip, so cost for 4th person will be £541pp / 5 days

6th to 11th October

Celtic Christian Pilgrimage / Retreat - ‘A Place of Springs’ - on the isles of Islay & Colonsay.

This 6-day pilgrimage will appeal to those who want to truly get away and renew themselves in the tranquility of the Scottish Hebridean islands, following a theme of spiritual refreshment. The islands won’t disappoint for they are rich in ancient Celtic Christian heritage. October is also great as there are no midges, tourists are few, the weather is still mildish and the colours are vibrant.

This is an active pilgrimage, gently hiking with times of reflection held out of doors with poems and Celtic prayers shared. We’ll explore the ancient sites to enter into the sacred spaces of the past and savour these outstanding landscapes. Travel will start and end in Glasgow, travelling by road in our minibus and by three ferry crossings. For more details, see this link

Wool & Walk trip including Edinburgh wool festival.

In collaboration with ‘The Thoughtful Knitter’, we are running further Wool & Walk trips following a couple of popular trips. Our latest Wool and Walk will start and end in Edinburgh.

The walks are gentle but aim to break up journeys and give a real experience of the scenery, providing contrast with visiting yarn producers, retailers, and enjoying a knitting experience.
