Join Alistair and Douglas for their most epic hike yet, as they tackle the spectacular Rum Cuillin traverse on the Isle of Rum. This sustained mountain walk with basic scrambling covers the 5 major summits on Rum, including 2 Corbetts (Askival and Ainshval) and a Graham (Trallval).

The Rum Cuillin offer arguably one of the most exciting hill days out in the Scottish Islands, and it did not disappoint. This 14 hour epic saw Alistair and Douglas tested to their limits, and it is certainly a walk not to be underestimated. You have been warned!
