GREAT DAY OUT!

Sue here!  Now its MY turn......!
It was a lovely sunny day yesterday so Richard and I decided to take a trip out with the cameras up to the north west of the island visiting Feriniquarrie, Lower and Upper Milovaig, Glendale and finally Neist Point.......   Shafts of sunlight cut through the gathering clouds that hover over Loch Mor in the photograph below.

Below is a shot of Richard as he's taking his own photographs just below the telecommunications masts at Scoval, (290 metres) close to Feriniquarrie.   Crikey - it was cold up there!

Despite the icy blasts we managed to get a lot of varied and interesting photographs but decided not to do the walk out to Neist Point (below) for fear of becoming 'airborne' in the gusting winds!   

Below is the Memorial to the famous piping dynasty of MacCrimmons above Loch Dunvegan.  The amazing views were worth the trudge through the boggy, wet ground to get there!

Skye - heaven on earth - at times!   I still have to pinch myself on occasions as a reminder that we do actually live here!!

Hi there you lucky pair - green with jealousy I am. We have the worst, most boring of the English weather down here - cloudy white skies and rain rain rain. Still, at least the kitchen is coming along and Paul is considering an alternative career as a plasterer.

Excellent photos. I think you were wise not to risk walking further and becoming airborne!
