Sometimes you get lucky anyway, our time at Camasunary was a bad weather alternative due to strong winds and poor snow conditions, and, between the showers, the weather was wonderful. I still can't believe that the first time I went to Skye, '91 I think, we had 10 days of great weather and climbed all over the Cuillin.

10 days of great weather? Unheard of

Thanks Seana, this was one of those rare trips where everything goes as well as can be hoped with no disasters. Slightly unsettling in some ways

litljortindan wrote:"Best view in Britain" is a can of worms but it would certainly be in my top ten. Great pictures and, for me, great memories brought back by seeing Camasunary again. Thanks!
Been up Sgurr na Stri a few times but it was the first trip that stands out -probably because of the evening light; makes a big difference.

Thanks I love Camasunary, it's about the 4th time I've been there and was the first walk of any sort i did on Skye. It's a special place with it's own atmosphere.

Thanks Yeah I really will need to push the boat out a bit for camping food. The porridge pot was bad enough, but I had one of those freeze dried meals the night before which was pretty unpleasant.

Thanks David

CJM Skye wrote:Brilliant report and photo's. Been lucky enough to camp there twice in superb weather. Personally I don't think there is a better view. I would encourage anyone thinking about camping there to go for it , just make sure the weather is on your side.

I'm definitely going back there to camp again. Better take my other half this time thought

The shot of the portrait of Loch coruisk is awesome.

Thanks Guinnessman. It was one of dozens and dozens of shots I took featuring Coruisk

Thanks Murray. I think I watched your SnS video about a dozen times to research it It's awesome. Where was your pitch? I was trying to find it without success.

Perfection . I had a good night up there but that looked even better. Definitely one to remember, that .

Cheers Malky, I read your report as well, though your trip was considerably more of an epic

My slip was hilarious tbf. One of those where the standing leg gives out and you slide down muddy grass, on your a*** in slow-motion, whilst swearing in slow-motion. Thankfully no one else around to laugh at it

Hope you get weather as good as I did. It'll be awesome

Thanks - here's hoping
Ha it's always hilarious isn't it. I sank into a snow drift up to my waist on Sunday. Couldn't stop laughing

"Views to die for!" - what more can be said? Phenomenal Real mountain porn!!

This has been my absolute Nr 1 favourite viewpoint since I went up it in the early 90s.

It's fantastic, I think i'l make a few return trip to this hill

Wonderful pictures. To be in places like this on such glorious days is totally amazing.

Awesome - great pictures.

But no matter what camera you have, or lens or whatever, you can't capture it. You just have to walk up there to appreciate it.

oooft magic - still on the to do list but it'll be hard to get conditions anywhere near as good as this - great set of photos to do it justice too - cheers

It truly is. Amazing views and total silence, save for a distant waterfall. Anywhere else I camp will seem like a total anticlimax

Absolutely. Nothing apart from experience can really convey that view of Coruisk

Thanks Rockhopper. It's one of those rare ones where the weather and tide times were both ideal. I'll probably go back in Autumn, a calm day in summer would be midge-hell

Cracking photos and report Can you tell me what camera gear you used on this trip please?
