http://web.me.com/simon.willis/Routes/Loch_Ailort.html February 2007 Launch from bay with small parking area OS 40 GR:739792 The inner part of the loch is sheltered from westerlies and can be glass calm when it’s rough in more open water. There’s plenty in the loch to explore, including an Iron Age fort on Eilean nan Gobhar (Goat Island) and some superb beaches with excellent camping. Tidal Information E stream +0530 / W -0050 HW Ullapool There are quite heavy over-falls around the islands when the ebb tide runs against a strong westerly wind, especially between Eilean a’ Chaolais and Ribha Chaolais. http://web.me.com/simon.willis/Routes/Loch_Ailort.html#0 47022749-679c-46b3-9aed-d0816f3acf31 http://web.me.com/simon.willis/Routes/Loch_Ailort_files/Media/Loch%20Ailort%20Route.jpg?derivative=thumb http://web.me.com/simon.willis/Routes/Loch_Ailort_files/Media/Loch%20Ailort%20Route.jpg?derivative=micro <div style="padding: 0px;
