Kilmarie to Sligachan with overnight wildcamp

[The Rodmiester]

Our first walk in Skye this week was to be a low level walk through from the large parking area at Kilmarie through to the Sligachan Hotel with hopefully a bus or hitch hike back to Broadford then a bus back to the parking spot at Kilmarie with a wild camp at Loch na Creitheach.

Thank you Silverhill, all in all a wonderful experience. Just a word of warning there was to have been a three hour wait for a bus at the hotel, but luckily we got a car to stop in about ten mins

Its such a great part of the world. Love the photos of SnG poking out through the cloud. The adder is excellent too.

Agreed a wonderful area, pity the did not rise but came down to cover the tops unfortunately for the rest of our journey.

Busy with the camping this month . There's lots more to Skye than the Black Cuillin, that's for sure.
