| The 'Matterhorn' of Knoydart - Sgurr na Ciche |
Knoydart is one of the roughest areas of the
Highlands. Support would be difficult to arrange so its a prime
candidate for a solo venture. The distance involved in this challenge
belies its difficulty. The ground is almost unremittingly rough and
steep and in the height of summer, the insects can be a problem - not
just the midges but the flies too. The terrain is almost primaeval with
the wonderful juxtaposition of sea and mountain that is the Western
seaboard of the Scottish Highlands. Navigation can be tricky in the
mist and dark as I discovered!
