Looking to the Black Cuillins in Skye on the Glen Brittle approach
| Scotlands classic walking landscape had eluded me for so long so in 2008 I determined to put that right by including some walks during a 10 day touring holiday with my wife Lil. About two months before setting off to the north of our isles I began scouring books to find walks that would be suitable, that is walks long and challenging enough for me to enjoy without inconveniencing Lil too much. One or two challenging longer walks would be permitted as long as some family type walks could be included too. Here you will find the records of all our walks done during the holiday and also a couple we did in the Scottish Borders earlier in the year. I hope you enjoy reading my record of the walks as much as Lil and I enjoyed walking them. |
