Don't know Darren. Hadn't given it much thought yet other than a vague notion that I might fancy a day on Skye. It has been too long!

Could well be tempted Graeme. Would depend on the weather & which ones folk were fancying doing though.

Yep, very weather dependent and given the time of year and relatively long drive compared to the more local Kintail hills, probably one of the shorter routes. Maybe Ghreadaidh and Mhadaidh?

They're 2 of the ones i've actually done! If i do go i'll probably be looking at Sgurr Alasdair or Bruach na Frithe. See what happens nearer the time. Be good to catch up,it's been a while.

I would travel on the Thursday and stay overnight at Carbost or Glenbrittle. Anybody interested give me a shout as it would be good to share costs



We now have a party of 5 for the day.

If anyone fancies a post meet Bothy night on the Sunday, let me know.
Either Suardalan or Camban are the most likely, all nearby.

Could be up for this - much as I fancy Gorton the following week, it's going to be more awkward to organise, so this would work instead :)
