A 'Factory Reset' Expedition for Mind, Body & Spirit.
Step beyond the edge of the map and into the wild bounds of Knoydart β a land unreachable by road and ruled by nature.
This five-day expedition from Glenfinnan to Inverie is more than a trek...
...itβs a deep reset for the body, mind, and spirit.

...itβs a deep reset for the body, mind, and spirit.
Carrying everything you need, youβll hike through ancient glens, sleep under the stars, and reconnect with yourself in one of Britainβs last true wildernesses. Thereβs no signal, no distractions β just mountains, lochs, and the untamed quiet youβve been craving.

Why βFactory Resetβ?
This isnβt a holiday. Itβs a rewilding of the senses, a cutting of the static, a reconnection with something far older than screens and schedules. If your nervous system feels frayed, this is the switch-off and switch-back-on you didnβt know you needed.

Best time to go?
Spring - March and April before the midges and ticks emerge
Autumn - after the first frost (which gets rid of the midges!)
Mid winter - it might be cold, crisp and sunny....or it might be stormy and exciting...but they'll be no midgies...
The options are simple (and so is the pricing)
