Day 1 - Brora introductory ride: 12 Miles

We collect all riders from Inverness in the AM and then take you to meet the horses where we have a ride briefing.

The trail today will be a relaxing circular route around the stunning landscape of Brora! We have a few different beautiful routes that we can take today from an awesome ride down to the local Dunrobin Castle. You will get a chance to get to know your horse at a leisurely pace today so that you will be prepared for tomorrow which is much faster paced!

Day 2 - Brora to Glen Loth: 12 Miles

This day of riding starts either at 10am or 1pm depending on the tide and is a shorter half day to break us all into the saddle gently.

We start with a beach ride along the wide sandy beach at Brora where our ponies can let off some steam and go for some breathless gallops beside the sea. We head North along the beautiful East coast beaches for several miles.

We then stop for the night, to get a good nights rest before the longer section tomorrow.

Day 3 - Glen Loth to Badenloch: 19 Miles

We start early, heading inland along tiny single track roads and over the hills, following the winding river along the Strath of Kildonan - goldrush country.

Our accommodation for the night is in the most remote hotel in mainland Britain.

Day 4 - Badenloch to Crask: 24 Miles

We follow estate tracks and stalkers trails in big sky country, crossing streams and jumping ditches alongside remote lochs.

Leaving the lochs behind, we climb a steep pass dropping to an old peat track - the only safe way through the wide flat bog strewn landscape before us. From here we will see our hotel for the night - a tiny white speck in the distance!

Day 5 - Crask to Altnaharra: 10 Miles

A shorter day to give both the ponies and us a bit of a rest after the long rides on the previous two days. We head North again, passing through wild beautiful scenery beneath Ben Klibreck to Altnaharra.

Day 6 - Altnaharra to Tongue: 20 Miles

We head for Tongue and the stunning wide sandy beaches of the North coast!

Day 7 - Tongue to Eribol: 21 Miles

From here we will travel across country on the Moine path in the shadow of Ben More and Ben Hope.

Day 8 - Rest/Free Day

A much deserved day off for us and the ponies!

We visit Durness by car, the most north-westerly village in the UK and you have the day free for whatever takes your fancy be it exploring the local cave or relaxing with a cup of coffee.

Day 9 - Eribol to Achfarry: 22 Miles

We are reunited with our ponies and we head off again, south from Ben Hope and through the beautiful Strath More where sea eagles are often sighted.

We rejoin our Coast to Coast trail here as we follow a stalkers path that winds its way through the majestic mountains of Reay forest estate and over a high pass. After some fantastic canters high up in the hills, we descend with stunning views of Arkle and Loch Stack.

Day 10 - Achfarry to Kylestrome: 15 Miles

We collect our ponies and head over the hills on a high stalkers path with fantastic views of the iconic mountains of the area (weather permitting!).

Dropping eventually to the sea lochs of the West Coast we wind our way along the stalkers trails that hug the shore, overlooking Loch Glendhu and Loch Glencoul.
