Skye Ridge Walk - 28th August
02nd September 2014
Well, as promised, myself and the two older kids went to Skye, ostensibly to visit their grandparents, and we also managed two ice-bucket challenges and a fantastic walk across the Trotternish Ridge.
Having checked the weather (sunshine and showers), we couldn't get parked in the Quirang car-park as it was so busy, and against my better judgement, I left it in a passing place - so touristy!
Luckily we were heading in the opposite direction of the vast majority of the day trippers, who were here to view the wonders of the Quirang, and once we had lost the few stragglers heading in the direction of Beinn Edra, we only met two people all day. We encountered rain, mist, wind and sun, and my daughters camera back took a plunge down a 300ft cliff. I'm pleased to say that we all made it back OK 5 hours later, with a few decent shots in the bag.
