Sgurr na Stri

Stayed at the Sligachan Campsite on Skye for a few days, glorious weather, sunny, warm with a good midge deterring breeze, Walkhighlands had what looked like a good run from the campsite to Sgurr na Stri, with what was meant to be some of the best views in Britain, route guide said 14 miles and 1800' of ascent, turned out over 15 miles with 2700' of ascent, but the views were good! Reasonably flat for the first and last 5 miles, the 5 miles in the middle had most of the ascent. Good breeze but still hot, crossed lots of streams and used them to soak/cool my hat/head. A few walkers out as well. The first part of the climb is up and over the shoulder of Sgurr Hain then a rocky traverse to Sgur na Stri, walked quite a lot of this section taking care over the rocks and taking in the views to the surrounding hills Loch Coruisk and the stunning Black Cuillin Ridge, a 6 mile chain of rocky peaks and spires. The last climb up to Sgurr na Stri steep but thankfully short, with a short jog along the top to the summit. Took inb the views with a few pictures which don't do it justice then set off for the return, slow traverse across to Sgurr Hain then the trail back to Sligachan, tired for the last couple of miles but happy.
