In reply to Removed UserDeleted bagger:
I first went there June 3 2002, to climb Ben Klibreck in the afternoon after climbing Ben Hope in the morning. I'd started the day by packing up my tent and asking at the Altnaharra Hotel if I could buy breakfast. (I'd deliberately brought no camping stove--I wanted to give custom to local businesses.) They kept me waiting in the lobby for 25 minutes, then eventually they made up their minds, and refused to sell me even a cup of coffee! So I went up Ben Hope on an empty tum then drove over to Crask to climb Klibreck. They served me salmon steak for lunch, and strong coffee for my caffeine-withdrawal headache, and when I went to pay they said "It's all right, you can pay when you get back from Klibreck. You might want afternoon tea when you come back anyway." (I did.) And then they lent me a mountain bike to go up the track. Lent, not rented!
I hope the Altnaharra's changed in the last 16 years. I'm very glad the Crask hasn't.
