Quick update while BB is running; hopefully long enough to let me upload. Apologies to anyone missing a blog about their days out or updates on Skye weather. Investing in Highland Wifi is looking likely:-(

Sword fighting on the Cioch

It has been incredibly busy with 7 Skye Guides out working pretty much constantly for the past 5 week; a massive thank you to Gillian, Scott, Andy, Lou, John and Francis. Thanks also to Cameron and Nathan who both added help, enthusiasm and youth on their work placements from the UHI Outdoor course in Broadford.

2 weeks of great weather has kept everyone happy with guides burning the candle at both ends by climbing at every opportunity; the real reason why we all do the job!

“Just a short note to say you have one very happy client after my trip up Gillean and Bhastair with Lou. It was just a brilliant, brilliant day. Lou was excellent and we all got something out of it, which as we all had different experience and capabilities was a great testament to her and the Ridge! “

“Just to say we had a fantastic time last week, and were so lucky with the glorious weather. John was really superb, combining a laid back friendly attitude with being assertive when needed. He could not have been a better guide and instilled confidence in us all those around him.”
“Mike – a slightly belated thanks for a fantastic days guiding round Corrie Lagan and up the Inn Pinn. Your approach put us both very much at ease and gave us great confidence on the day. I’d certainly recommend you and Skye Guides to anyone looking for adventure on the Cuillin! It was also a great pleasure to have Nathan with us – he seemed like a great bloke and we wish him well for his career.”
“Thank you very much for the four days last week. The weather behaved very well, but the trip was made by Gillian. She was extremely patient with us.”

“Both Scott and John were excellent guides. Personally, I was very challenged by some of the terrain, but they were a great help; ten Munros bagged, incl. the In Pinn!”
“This is a belated thank you for your help and understanding in making Jane and I’s short trip to the paradise where you live such an enjoyable experience.”
