Sgurr Nan Eag, Skye

Back to the Misty Isle today, and it certainly lived up to its name, well in the Black Cuillins anyway. I was out with Michelle and Heather who were keen to have their first taste of the finest mountain range in the UK. We decided to head up into Coir' a' Ghrunnda, which must be one of the most aesthetic corries in Scotland, and made our way up to Sgurr Nan Eag.

The cloud base sat at the base of the corrie, so the journey to and from the summit was an atmospheric and eerie one. From the summit, we traversed beneath Caisteal a' Garbh-Coire, before descending and skirting around the Loch (on the UK's highest beach?) and heading out. Well done to Michelle and Heather, hopefully that's given you a taste of what the rest of the Cuillins offer…
