You will read about the difficulty of finding water during an unusually dry and hot spell, the pleasure of waking to a beautiful morning on the Trotternish ridge and seeing an eagle, his encounter with a herd of cattle blocking his path and the physical and psychological ups and downs of this demanding and challenging route. The book will prove invaluable for anyone thinking of walking the Skye Trail, or any other long distance route. It will also be of interest to armchair enthusiasts who enjoy a good read about the outdoors, hill walking and camping; and an encouragement to anyone who is retired to live life to the full.
