to 5th Jul 2008 | CUHWC 2008 - Glen Shiel (and day on Skye)
The official unofficial trip went to Glen Shiel this year. On Monday, I walked over the 5 Sisters with Ruth, Simon, Katrina and Dan. On Tuesday, it was raining so we went to Eilean Donan followed by a forest walk. On Wednesday, Simon T, Ruth, Dave F, Simon W, David P, Katrina, Dan, Alex P and I scrambled on Forcan Ridge up to The Saddle. DP and I then continued to Sgurr na Sgine, which broke my knee so I had the day off on Thursday! Then on Friday, Ruth, DP, Katrina and Dan and I went to walk near Elgol on Skye, with amazing views of the Cuillin.
