SCOTLAND HIKING TRIP 28-31 AUGUST
Join Galz Gone Wild on an adventure to the Scottish Highlands! In the north west Highlands, near the town of Fort William and part of the Grampian Mountain range, the famous peak Ben Nevis is the king of them all.
An ancient giant of the land, Ben Nevis was once a massive active volcano which exploded and collapsed inwards on itself millions of years ago. At the summit, there is evidence of an explosion in the form of light-coloured granite. The name itself has two translations from the ancient Gaelic language, meaning 'mountain with its head in the clouds', thanks to its iconic mist-shrouded peak, or it can also mean 'venomous mountain'. You will also experience hiking the Glencoe Valley. Located within Lochaber Geopark in the Highlands, the deep valley and towering mountains of Glen Coe were formed over millenniums of shifting glaciers and volcanic eruptions. Glencoe village is located between the banks of Loch Leven and the mouth of the famous glen.

In order to protect yourself adequately you will need a specialist travel insurance that caters for the types of activities you will be undertaking.
