Skye

Then it was off to Skye, after an excellent weekend in the Trossachs with some DoE groups who really got lucky with the weather.
Kay, Liz and Jane wanted to tackle some Grahams on Skye, based in Broadford YH and thankfully the weather held.
Day one was off to the Trotternish Ridge to climb The Storr and Hartaval in great conditions. We had a bit of fun exploring the fantastic rock formations around the Old Man of Storr and the Sanctuary before climbing to the summit via the broad grassy slopes of the north ridge. Over an early lunch we enjoyed breathtaking views to Raasay and the mainland peaks beyond before descending to Bealach a' Chuirn to climb to the summit of Hartaval.
