20 KM
Grade B
This trip has a feeling of remoteness and isolation, which along its way provides much variation for the paddler. Cliffs and caves exposed to the full force of the Atlantic to start, a mass of sheltered and isolated islands follow with a narrow fjord like loch leading into the mountains to finish. All this with the dramatic views that surround provide for a great trip.
