Description
Guidebook to the Skye Trail, a challenging 80-mile (128km) trek that snakes its way north-south across the Isle of Skye. This unofficial, week-long route is ideal for backpacking, camping wild each night, but can also be walked between overnight accommodation.- Unwaymarked route on sometimes pathless terrain requires navigational skill, fitness and self-reliance, so is suitable for experienced mountain walkers- Seven daily stages of 7-18 miles (11-29km) in length, with an optional 6-mile (11km) alternative route via the summit of Bla Bheinn, one of Skye's most spectacular Munros- Starts at Rubha Hunish at the northern tip of Skye, visits the capital Portree, follows Glen Sligachan between the Black Cuillin and Red Hills, before finishing in the south at Broadford- Highlights include the Trotternish Ridge, the Quiraing, the Old Man of Storr, the mighty Cuillin and the abandoned village of Boreraig- Clear route descriptions with full 1:50,000 OS mapping and elevation profiles for hillier stages- Includes details of refreshments, public transport and accommodation, notes on geology, history, plants and wildlife, and a glossary of Gaelic place names
