Slabs of Cheesecake

[Mrs Scoob]

Having had a couple of rainy days in Skye, we were back on the mainland today. This was a better day for this one (winds were too strong last week so we'd soon turned back). Still a long cycle/push both ways, but the track has been improved since our last round on this pair. Today we were adding the Top off Lurg Mhor, which turned out to be a little more tricky than we'd expected! The slabs weren't as grippy as Skye's rock, so we ended up picking our way underneath some of it.

Lovely morning - and no one else here!

Cycled more than we pushed in!

A new road bridge! On our first trip here we'd carried bikes across that shoogly bridge (missing some slats now)

Short scramble to get to the outlying Top

Meall Mor summit - just to get all the way back out now

Looking back along the ridge as we went back over Lurg Mhor - a small slice of rainbow!

Sunshine overlapped with a hail shower on the way back out

Today's stats; really close for such a distance!
