Second day with Fiorella and En on their Skye adventure. We were blessed with a gorgeous day. Well deserved after the wet and cloudy conditions yesterday. Feeling fit and wanting to climb a Munro, the Italian couple were up for a day on Bruach na Frithe. This is one of the easier Cuillin Munros. No scrambling involved and a stunning view point. The morning sunrise was beautiful as we made our way across the moor below the imposing Black Cuillin. Despite all the rain, the ground and trail wasn't too boggy. The waterfalls were spectacular. Far better than those tourist packed Fairy Pools. We had these to ourselves. The whole walk is a delight. We had a very brief hail shower in the corrie. We timed it perfectly for the best of the sun as we gained the ridge. It's a spectacular view when you emerge out of the Corrie and have Am Bastier rise suddenly in front of you. The cool airflow gave beautiful views in all directions on the summit. The guys were well chuffed with their achievement, rightly so. The day was complete with a spectacular rainbow in front of Glamaig and of course the obligatory beer in the best pub on Skye, The Sligachan . Top couple of days with lovely folk.  They may be back next year :-)
