Skye 2010 Holiday Report

All photographs on this page (and more) can be seen on our main Skye 2010 gallery page.

Saturday 15th May 2010

Our first pick-up was in Glasgow at 14:00. Last year we picked up in Glasgow at noon but this year we had to make it a bit later as 2 people couldn't make it before 2pm. We had 8 guests this year and decided to take 3 of us to host the week. How good is that. How many other walking holiday companies give you 3 qualified Mountain Leaders to 8 clients for a £600 week long holiday. In truth there was only really 2.5 staff as Dave was going to do his own thing most days and do a bit of the cooking.

Marshy, who was traveling further than Dave and I had set off the night before and was close to Fort William as we were picking up in Glasgow. We weren't sure of the amount of luggage space so he met up with the Fort William people and took their luggage off them while we picked them up in the people carrier.

In May of 2009 we ran a vegetarian (which in fact turned out to be vegan) walking holiday to Skye. We've uploaded a load of photos from this Skye walking holiday and they can be found in this gallery.
