The Skye Trail

I did the Skye Trail at the beginning of May 2023.  It was cold at the end of April and temperatures on Skye were dipping to -5oC overnight and I nearly cancelled the trip but all of sudden they improved  and I decided to go for it and I think it is the perfect time.  There were no midges!!!  I drove to Portree campsite which is located at the middle of the trail and the terrific campsite allowed me to leave my car there whilst I walked the trail with Diego, my Hungarian Vizsla.  There is a reliable bus service from Portree to Broadford so it is easy to get to the trail head.  We wild camped day 1 and 2 and it was great to get back to the van at the end of day 3 to resupply.  The weather was bad on day 4 so I took a day off as I saw no point in continuing when I couldn't even see the mountains.  Day 5 & 6 there were no reliable resupply points or shops.  This was my first visit to Skye and there is so much more to do there.  Looking forward to getting back there!
