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).

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.
