Cool that you have done this hike as well. It is about 5 km from where I grew up also (related to my comment about Bensjordtinden). I did this hike a little more than 20 years ago, and am planning on returning sooner or later. I will post a few reports about some other hikes in the area that I did e...

Pretty cool that you have done this hike as it about 5 km from where I grew up. I did the hike 4 weeks after you this year, as well as some 20 years ago

I enjoy long hikes too, but I had a very long day. I got up at 5 am, drove a total of 5 hours, and had 1 more hour of hiking in addition to the 4 hours I spent hiking Forcan ridge and the saddle. And the weather predictions said it would rain cats and dogs from 3 pm and for the rest of the day so I ...

If you are looking for a really cool ruin, then Finlater castle is right up your alley. What about the hike? Well, Sandend is a really nice town, so you should consider swinging by. The hike from Sandend to the castle is not very interesting, but it is somewhat nice if you are looking for an easy wa...

Is it a good idea to do this hike in strong winds? Well, I did not have a lot of days available for hiking during my vacation. After having driven for 2 hours I got to the parking. A man told me that the prediction was strong winds, 60 mph. I have hiked in strong winds before, but had no clue how st...

Why do so many people go to see the Fairy pools? This hike is busy with a lot of people hiking in jeans and tennis shoes. There might be a lot of reasons for the big crowds, here are some of them: 1) It is an easy hike 2) The hike is hyped up 3) The Fairy pools are pretty 4) The Cuillin mountains ar...

Can you avoid the crowds at the Quiraing? There are a lot of people hiking here, but most people turn around when they get to the prison. If you are not up for the full circuit, or want to get a closer look at the needle and the table, then keep reading. When you get to the prison you follow the tra...

How difficult is this hike, and should you make it a priority? The hike from the parking to the bothy is easy, it will take you about 30 minutes. From the bothy you have to hike West until you get to the fence. Cross the first one, and hike along the second one. This is where you decend. The trail i...

When you can't even see The old man of storr, then you should turn and go back, right? Well, you might miss out on the great views, but you also gain a lot by doing the ascent: 1) A good workout 2) Baggin' the summit 3) No crowds, just you and the sheep 4) A sense of achievement due to the difficult...

So, do you really have to hike for 7-9 hours? Not at all... After you have parked the car you gain a fair amount of elevation. When you get to where the ridge hike starts you take the ridge all the way to The saddle. When you get to The saddle you make your way down to the left on the trail. There s...

Is it possible to explore the cave of gold? I would like to think so... To get there you have a short hike from the car park. It is as easy as it gets more or less. Getting down was not a big problem either, but it was harder than walking on flat ground...When you get down there you see the cave, an...

Do you really have to do the 24 km roundtrip from Sligachan to get to Sgurr na Stri? No... I stayed at Camasunary bay bothy and hiked up to Sgurr na Stri after breakfast. If you do not want to stay at the bothy, then you can park your car at Kilmarie and hike over to Camasunary bay. The hike From Ki...

So, I thought I went when it was low tide... I have seen pictures of what it is like when it is low tide, and that must be a different experience than the one I had. I have to say it was somewhat difficult, but still doable. But how much more water is doable then...? What I did (and you should do if...
