Drove to Skye the night before and slept in the car at the start of the walk in Glen Brittle.
There must have been walkers spending the night on the ridge as I could see the light from head torches when it was dark.
Fantastic views today when on the hills.
Hard going with it being so hot and no wind to cool me down.
I met an older chap on the top of Sgurr Dubh Mor who had canoed across the bay from Elgol and was climbing the hills on the south of the ridge. He was then going to run back to his canoe and make his way back to Elgol! :shock:
