What is an Inuksuk?

An Inuksuk is a pile of rocks in the shape of a person. Inuk means 'person' and suk means ‘substitute’ in the Inuit language. The inuksuk was used by the Inuit in Canada to show people the way, to warn people of danger ahead, as a memorial sign or as a helpful tool at the caribou hunt. The Inuksuk stands for Inuit power, leadership and motivation.

Through our travels and expeditions, we are more than ever convinced that nature is a perfect teacher. When travelling through pristine wilderness, over high mountains or on rough seas, you immediately feel humble, a state of mind we tend to loose in this 21first high-tech century where we think we can conquer anything !

Being outdoors, you appreciate your shelter, food and water, and you appreciate more than ever true friendship. One learns when to travel and when to stay put and listen to the teachings of the weather elements. One doesn't ‘conquer’ a mountain; the mountain lets one walk on it.

Through our INUKSUK website we want to share with you our adventures and respect for mother Earth. We invite you to use your 5 senses and start to witness what nature can provide you: a never ending teaching book. Happy trails, Bert & Kiki

Hikes in the Scottish Highlands – July 2001 & 2002 PDF Print E-mail
hikesThe Scottish Highlands is our favorite hiking and training destination, close to home.

The weather is miserable, the mosquitoes and black flies eat you alive, but nevertheless, this place is magic and you never get enough of it!

"Altitude" doesn't seem to be an issue in the Higlands. But climbing1200 m from sea level, on a muddy and slippery surface wit a 25kg havy backpack can be a challenge at times! In Scottland they have a saying: "If you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes".
