Sgurr Nan Gillean, Am Basteir and Bruach na Frithe
I'm back on the Misty Isle again, running our last Skye Munros Course (run in conjunction with Steven Fallon Mountain Guiding) of the year.
It's no secret that the western Highlands are experiencing some changeable weather at the moment, so picking the right objective for the day can be quite tricky. With the winds due to ease from midday onwards, we decided to go for the northern 3 Munros; Sgurr Nan Gillean, Am Basteir and Bruach na Frithe.
This was a bit of a baptism of fire for the team, but everyone did well and managed the ascent and descent of Sgurr Nan Gillean's excellent West Ridge. From there, we tackled Am Bastier via its East Ridge, including the Bad Step, before finishing on Bruach na Frithe.
Drier but windier tomorrow…
