Cube mk2 and WIR

The water did feel a little less like the Carribean I have to say. But after the walk in the feet really appreciated it!

 

The Bla Bheinn walk was something like 2-3 hours up. The car park is almost directly opposite your cottage (about 2 miles or a little more round the end of the loch to get there - or row over!) and the walk starts really gently but with loads of plant and wildlife.

 

It gets steep up to a corrie, with a MASSIVE lump of rock which must have fallen off the hill hundreds of years ago that you can shelter under if it's raining. That's probably about half way, maybe a little more. The summit is sort of split in two, and it pays to have a good map. Going the route on the left involves a big scramble up some scree, then clambering over rock (though it's the odd 'gabbro' stuff that the Cuillin is made of, grippy in the extreme, though hell on the soles of your shoes). The route on the right is less distinct, and we seemed to be the only people going that way, but I think it's a nicer way. Still a lot of scrambling and rock clambering involved.

 

That takes you to the 'true' summit on the right. The lump on the left is just a 'peak' so you have to cross between the two on a little ridge to get to the right.

 

God I can't half ramble on about Skye, I should be on commission from the tourist board...
