Interest in Scottish trails was re-ignited whilst hiking the WHW over the 18/19 New Year. Living on Dartmoor it is often easier to jump on a ferry and drive to the Alps or Pyrenees than it is to get to Scottish mountains, but we were enthused enough for a second long drive north. I had only been on Skye twice before, once to traverse the Cuillin Ridge with an old mate and a wander from Elgol with my wife to climb Blaven and camp in Camasunary bay which we had to abandon after a couple of days in a blizzard. However from this limited knowledge and looking at the map we decided to hike South to North figuring if nothing else a camp at Rubha Hunish would be a more fitting end than CO-OP carpark in Broadford.
