Thanks mate. I don't do a lot of climbing but I should make more of an effort to walk some munro's. The views must be excellent. I used to back them in my teens.

Hi Gary, When I said climbing, I did mean walking really, I've never done any proper Rock Climbing. Being a fell runner (ex) we just call getting up em climbing.
I would still like to do the ridge some time - if I could get fit enough again - would have to have the assistance of a guide though!
How ye fixed? Wink

Stunning photography!
Brought back memories of our August/September visit. Looks like your weather was better than ours tho', we never did see the tops.
Not surprisingly one of the locals told us that Skye is also known as 'The Misty Isle'.
One of your pics looks like the view from the layby we over-nighted in, we remarked how many vehicles were stopping along the road to take photos, then when I got out to walk the dog and looked back along the road I found out why. A dramatically stunning pinacle just above us!

Many thanks for the photos. I used to go to Skye regularly, but haven't been for many years. Your photos have convinced me I should make the effort to return.
