What you’ll need and what you won’t

 We asked members of the ‘Achiltibuie Appreciation Society‘ what they thought was important to have for an enjoyable holiday in Achiltibuie, including things that should be left behind.

What to bring:

  • Sunscreen
  • Waterproofs
  • Walking boots
  • Wellies
  • Kayaks
  • Binoculars
  • Flip-flops
  • Bikes
  • Maps and compass
  • Chargers and batteries for your gadgets
  • Musical instruments

  • Kites
  • A sense of adventure
  • Rum and paracetamol

Have courtesy when driving on our single-track roads. Use passing places to let people behind you overtake; wave and smile at those who pull into passing places to let you pass. Always keep to the left.

What not to bring:

  • A fear of wide open spaces (or sheep)
  • An accurate watch
  • A narrow mind
  • That report you said you’d finish
  • An inability to reverse your car
  • Jeremy Clarkson books
  • Over-weaning self-regard
