North West Highlands Geopark: The North Coast Geotour

7 June 2025 - 14 June 2025

The North Coast Geotour will consist of 8 field days and has two more field days than the other geotours and is based in Durness. Transport via minibus will be available from Ullapool to Durness, all field localities and the return trip back to Ullapool. If Geotour participants wish to use their own transport that is also an option. The Geotour will again be led by Pete Harrison, the NW Highlands Geopark Geologist.

On arrival in Durness, there will then be 6 days fieldwork in the local area. Two days around Durness, two around Loch Eriboll, one further east to Tongue and a day to Cape Wrath via a ferry and minibus.

In Durness, there is hotel, self-catering, guesthouse & B & B and hostel type accommodation available as well as a campsite. Early booking is advisable as it lies on the NC 500. (More advice can be provided on request). If you wish to stay in a different area of the North Coast your own transport would be useful.

A packed lunch each day is advisable. There is a small supermarket. There are a few places to eat out or purchase carryout food in the evening.
