Impressive film in a scenic part of the country.

[@TrekkingExploration]

Stunning is not the word. Gorgeous location. Thank you ☺️

[@seamusmcevoy2011]

Glorious scenery and impressive places to visit enroute. I reckon that next time I book a holiday I'm going to take you along, because nearly all the videos you do have great weather!!! Really looking forward to the next instalments.

[@TrekkingExploration]

It's planted the seed for me to do more like this next year. The weather has had its moments recently, a couple coming up are in the pouring rain 😂

[@RoseangleWarrior]

Greetings from Dundee. I've been talking about hiring a boat from west highland sailing and cruising the canal for years and years. You've captured the atmosphere of the highlands perfectly and you've clearly not let the rain bother you. Thanks for your time filming and editing this awesome wee film. I think I'm probably going to binge on the rest of your vids now. perfect lockdown viewing.

[@TrekkingExploration]

Brilliant, I'm really pleased you enjoyed it. It's definitely something I would recommend doing, I'd definitely do it again 😀

[@troyanderson6530]

The music and filming are quite impressive. Thank you very much!

[@TrekkingExploration]

[@johnrogers2826]

Wow, that is absolutely stunning! Thanks, how lucky you are. Great editing and music as always, well done, a real treat.

[@TrekkingExploration]

[@johnrogers2826]

@@TrekkingExploration I am really looking forward to future episodes. Brilliant, thanks!

[@bobingram6912]

Beautiful and idyllic, sums up the home country Ant, I rest my case!!! 👍

[@TrekkingExploration]

I'm looking forward to returning next year ;)

[@sharonformella9433]

Cruised this stunning canal a week ago, from exactly the same starting point (we went towards Banavie first, so in the other direction), and I admit to having been inspired by your videos. Just be aware of the wind on there everyone, it will definitely test your boat-handling skills ...

[@lindamccaughey8800]

Oh wow, what beautiful countryside. Thanks for taking me a long, I so enjoyed it

[@TrekkingExploration]

I'm glad you enjoyed it 😀

[@golach420]

I spent my youth living in Sutherland, but never ventured anywhere near the caley canal. Next year maybe.

[@KarenG.-qs7wc]

[@TrekkingExploration]

I'm pleased you've not seen them 😀 There should be 5 of them. 3 on the boat, one towpath walk and one disused railway up there. You may have seen the later ones 😉

[@craiglogistics2092]

Fantastic scenery in that part of the country Ant, i'm looking forward to the next part through Loch Ness

[@socklesslad]

Shame you didn't start in Fort William - but great video anyway.

[@TrekkingExploration]

We did 2 years ago, sadly time didn't allow on this occasion. A reason to go back maybe? :)

[@badsamaritan_airsoft1031]

What website or business was it to book it. Want to surprise my little kid.

[@TrekkingExploration]

I did it through Hoseasons or you can do it directly with West Highland Sailing

[@crisiswhatcrisis9124]

You can also use Caley cruisers and start from Inverness going the opposite way, through Loch Ness stop at Urquhart Castle half way down then onto fort Augustus go see the abbey, take the boat through the locks approximately 5 in short succession which lift the boats up around 20 meters from one level to the next then from there onto Lagan lock going through both lochs, it’s a beautiful way to see this part of Scotland and the fun you will have sailing a boat.

I can't remember exactly but we set off between 9 and 10 and got there early afternoon with a stop mid journey 🙂
