Any sense of which hills people are planning to do yet?
I'm thinking I can have a go at climbing 2 out of Bruach na frithe, sgurr nan eag or bla bheinn
As i haven't done any other stuff on Skye yet that's the limit of my personal ambition
If some more experienced persons were to be looking for company on some slightly harder climbs, i wouldn't say no to that instead, but haven't really looked at the complexity of climbing any of the other cuillin so far :shock:

weaselmaster you might also like to consider Sgurr Banachdich from the youth hostel track, very easy, no hands on :)

If the weather is clear, I'll be opting for Sgurr a Mhadaidh and Sgurr Ghreadaidh on the Saturday. I quite fancy Sg nan Gillean but combining with Sgurr na-h Uamha, which looks a cracking satellite peak. See you up there folks!

Flip! i've told you already, you're no getting a free bed :shock: :lol: and nothing makes sense to me anymore :?
so, you want (tommy) to camp in the bunkhouse? the logistics of that may be difficult as we're no allowed to hammer nails into the floor :shock:

I'll probably be working the Saturday evening but i can try and tag a long for the Sunday so if anyone fancies some scrambling or knife like sections of the ridge, even the Inn Pinn, then let me know. Inn Pinn, Banachdich, Ghreadaidh and Mhadaidh are all possible in a day if the weather is good.

Unless Cameron decides to get his arse over from Ab'shire then we will probably go for a one day traverse or something.

Cheers !
