Produktbeschreibung

This slim guidebook to the Skye Trail long-distance walking route from top to toe of the magical Isle of Skye tells you all you need to know for an excellent 7 days' backpacking all the way from the headland of Rubha Hunish, through Portree to Broadford and over Bla Bheinn if you fancy. As yet unwaymarked and only for experienced walkers and backpackers, this challenging route provides the walker with a tour of Skye's most iconic landforms - including the Trotternish Ridge and the Cuillin ridge - as well as of its turbulent history, from the iron age forts to the ruins of the Clearance villages. Whether making use of island hospitality or opting for the freedom of a tent, completing the continuous route represents a real challenge and a fitting match for the epic landscapes found on Skye. Route illustrated with OS maps and profiles and stunning photography - with extensive appendices on the language, all the accommodation available and a comprehensive reading list for some inspirational pre-adventure reading.

Autorenporträt

Helen's walking initiation began with enforced parental rambles and progressed through the Ten Tors expeditions on Dartmoor as a school pupil to the completion of a 4000-mile backpack across Europe with Paul in 2003-4. Helen is a firm believer that travelling on foot allows you to meet people and see things that would otherwise be overlooked and it's with this attitude that she co-founded the Scottish walker's website Walkhighlands in 2007. Originally from Devon, Helen has gradually been moving north and has lived and worked in the Scottish Highlands since 2005. She has co-authored 11 walking books about Scotland with Paul and is passionate about the need to conserve Scottish wild land while developing the local tourism industry to ensure that walkers visit time and time again to discover the huge variety of walks out there.
