8-10 March 2001This hut is most excellent, dude. A must! Right next to the road, it has comfortable bunks, water in the taps, showers and toilets, cookers, fridges and even a microwave. A veritable hotel.There are plenty of fine walks starting here, including a visit to the Cioch, an impressive rock which starred in the film Highlander. Sgurr Alasdair and Sgurr Mhic Choinnich, or Sgurr Dearg and the Inaccessible Pinnacle, or maybe Sgurr na Banachdich, Sgurr a'Ghreadaidh and Sgurr a'Mhadaich. You will need map Landranger 32, or Outdoor Leisure 8. The latter is useful as it also has Skye on the back, but despite the better scale some people find features harder to decipher. Remember that the rocks on Skye can be magnetic making compasses useless! | |
19-21 April 2001This hut is a long way from the road but worth the walk-in.Hills near to the hut include Sgurr nan Eag and Sgurr Dubh Mor. You will need map Landranger 32, or Outdoor Leisure 8. The latter is useful as it also has Torridon on the back, but despite the better scale some people find features harder to decipher. Harvey's Superwalker of the Cuillin is a good, clear map. Remember that the rocks on Skye can be magnetic making compasses useless! |
