Move to the Isle of Skye and you come to the Black Cuillins, one of the finest ridge walks in Europe.

The Black Cuillins on the Isle of Skye present a long and sometimes difficult ridge walk which, if you are fit, you can do in a day. Two days is easier if you're prepared to spend a night on the hill.

You will need ropes and proper equipment, this is a hard traverse with a lot of exposure.

Be carefull of the weather. This picture was taken in high summer, and the clouds can drop onto the ridge at any time.

There is a lot of good climbing on the Cuillins, (and yes, I know that pitch is too long, but I was young and foolish and inflamed wi't brown ale).

This was me on the Inaccessible Pinnacle (The InPin) on Sgurr Dearg at one end of the Cuillin Ridge.

And then there is Wales ....

At 3002 feet Tryfan just makes it as a Munro, but don't let that fool you. This is a tough walk, and there is no way to gain the summit without at least a little bit of scrambling.

Technically it isn't a Munro, since it isn't in Scotland. But the term has come to be applied to any mountain over 3000 feet in the British Isles.

Treat this hill with respect. I have personally witnessed rescue teams bringing down bodies on two occasions.

You don't often get weather like this, but I was very lucky that day walking the centre section of the Welsh Three Thousands.
