A glorious sunny day with a bit of a cloud inversion and got a brocken spectre on the summit - what a day! Saw red deer on the way up which were very tame and barely moved as I went past. Hard work going up the stone chute with the sliding rock but worth the slog!
Incredible views across the ridge, great to look over to where I was earlier in the week. A colder breeze on the tops. Slightly easier coming down the stone chute. A fine picnic stop on the way down with amazing views out to the islands with the autumn colours. Went sunbathing and for a walk on the beach after to round off a perfect day in the Cuillin and an amazing trip to Skye - very lucky with the weather :D
