Steep heather slopes at Quiraing
The spectacular Quiraing on the Isle of Skye gives us a classic hill-walk. This circuit heads out above the escarpment and returns along its base. A beautiful hill-walk of 4 hours at the Trotternish. After a hour of climbing the path leads to the edge of the cliffs above the Quiraing. These two climbers head off left and climb steeply up the grassy hillside. The slope briefly relents by a grass-grown drystone dyke. This soon leads to the edge of the cliffs above the Quiraing, with spectacular views looking down. The outlook across the sea and Staffin Bay to the Torridon mountains is equally magnificent. (via B℮n)
..Would love to do some walking around Scotland. (And Ireland, Wales, England.) Just a case of managing to go when it won’t be too rainy and cold.
Didn’t climb this one - climbed the one next to it that was supposed to take less time because we also wanted to go to Glencoe again, but slow, ditzy girls kept taking 1billion pictures and missing the few minutes of breaks the rest of us normal-speed walkers would take. They complained. It was irritating. They also wore jeans? Anyway. It ended up taking the same amount of time had we climbed this one. Didn’t see Glencoe for the 3rd time. It’s fine.
