Jim & Andre at the remotest pub in the UK
I've been guiding on some very easy walks in Skye this week for Walkabout Scotland. Only two folk from USA and Canada on a tour around the Highlands using the very scenic railways to get to and from Skye. Tuesday's walk from Sligachan was a very windy and wet affair. 40-50mph winds at sea level is pretty unusual,  even in Skye. We did have the best pub on the island at the end though. Wednesday's weather was much better with the cloud lifting and some nice sunny spells. Andre and I had a lovely wander around The Old Man of Storr. Some amazing g scenery for such an easy walk. Of course it was busy as usual. On Thursday the weather improved even more with some great sunshine by late afternoon.  Today's walk was a very short walk in Knoydart. We spent longer having a pint at the most remote boozer in the UK, The Old Forge at Inverie. If you want some fabulous scenery, easy walking and seeing a lot of The Highlands in the space of a few days then this is a great wee trip.
Good to catch up with Jon Haber who runs Walkabout Scotland.  I've known Jon for many years and always great fun to work on his trips.
