shoes: La Sportiva Crosslite (5)

Very tired after an easy but long drive home from Oban (just over 8 hours). Was planning on breaking the journey with a run at Shap but decided to push on and miss the traffic. Pleased that I got myself out as my head really didn't want to.

shoes: Salomon Fellraiser 2016

Spent the morning exploring Glenfinnan, a very pretty place. Took in all the viewpoints of the viaduct and the Bonny Prince Charlie monument, but unfortunately missed the steam train on the viaduct (but did see it at the station). Relaxing and very nice morning.
3 PM

Really nice walk up Glen Nevis to Steall Falls. Again very popular but was enough to get your own space as well. Had fun on the rope bridge.

At last a decent day but still pretty windy. Headed to the east of the Cuillin hills to do Bla Bheinn. Nice hill, good path up the glen until it got steep and then some spectacular cliffs and a little easy scrambling. Unfortunately the cloud wouldn't budge from the summit (until back at the car that is) but it wasn't a problem and only ruined the view. Fun little scramble to to the the south top and then a long descent down rough scree. Very enjoyable.

Across to Mallaig and on to Glenfinnian in the evening (really stunning drive) and went for a walk to the viaduct.

Woke up to driving rain and gale force winds with the forecast due to get worse... Opted on a low level walk along Loch Sligachan out once set out the clouds cleared so turned around and headed along Glen Sligachan instead. Missed the start of the path which resulted in lots of bog paddling and wet feet.

Rain came in after finishing and spent the afternoon doing things that had walls and roofs connected with them.

Quiraing (on Skye now). Lovely walk but slightly marred by wind and then by rain on the return, meaning that it wasn't worth going up to visit the Table. Nonetheless a very pretty walk and justifiably popular.
11 AM

Walk 1:28:10 intensity: (1:08:10 @0) + (20:00 @1) 5.26 km (16:46 / km) +330m 12:46 / km
shoes: Salomon Fellraiser 2016

The Old Mann of Storr. Had to be done. Surprised at how big it was, as in, like huge! 45m or something. Wind, rain and swirling cloud made views difficult but all eliminated most of the tourists, especially up close.
4 PM

Walk 52:47 intensity: (37:47 @0) + (15:00 @1) 3.34 km (15:49 / km) +176m 12:31 / km
shoes: Salomon Fellraiser 2016

The Fairy Pools, again a very popular spot and again not the best weather with cloud hiding the Cuillin Hills behind. Worth a visit though.

Yesterday's wind had gone but unfortunately replaced by cloud and sporadic showers. Nice little loop around the coastal lochs in Lochmaddy before the boat back to Skye.

Beach No.1, Luskentyre. Tide mostly in but enough beach to walk on, cloudy but with plenty of sunny spells and no one else around.
11 AM

Walk 1:05:48 intensity: (45:48 @0) + (20:00 @1) 5.15 km (12:47 / km) +21m 12:31 / km
shoes: Salomon Fellraiser 2016

Beach No.2, Traigh na Cleabhaig. Considered adding the adjoining hills as well but it was steep and wouldn't have allowed lunch before the boat to Uist. Nice amble along the coast to a ruined church. Amazing luch at the Temple Cafe after - 5 stars everyday.
3 PM

Walk 1:15:00 intensity: (55:00 @0) + (20:00 @1) 4.7 km (15:57 / km) +16m 15:41 / km
shoes: Salomon Fellraiser 2016

Beach No.3, Berneray. Birthplace of a 7'9'' giant who went to Nova Scotia. Don't know why he left as he lived on another cracking beach.
4 PM

Walk 1:05:48 intensity: (45:48 @0) + (20:00 @1) 4.75 km (13:51 / km) +13m 13:40 / km
shoes: Salomon Fellraiser 2016

Beach No.4, Hornais. White sand and completely empty: a few footprints from birds and some bits of seaweed the only other things on the beach. Beautiful. Water pretty cold though (paddled). Apparently a picture of this beach was (mistakenly) used in a Thai tourist brochure.
