I still want to give Skye one more shot, I really wanted to see the Fairy Pools and all the lovely waterfalls. Probably a day on it's own. I can't sum up the energy for steep walking now, Great Gable was an effort last time. I never have been keen on steep walking since school days, youth hosteling in the Lake District, I couldn't tackle Striding Edge now!
Skye is a fair old trip from here, a chunk over 400 miles I think, Mull is about 350 from here.
I may go to Mull in October, the Tour of Mull Rally, which has been canceled due to insurance problems. The organisers are trying to set up alternative motorsport competitions for this year, (13th-14th October 2017). It would be good if we could go, to show support for the organisers.
The Tour of Mull Rally is normally a closed road event like the Manx. Having competed twice I have a close interest in the event.
While the scenery of Skye is spectacular, there are many other places in Scotland which are equally photogenic. I would like to explore the Ranoch Moor area, landscape wise probably nothing to beat it. There are also many sea Lochs and coastal places well worth visiting. Google Earth is your friend, together with The Photographers Ephemeris.
