Sounds good - hope you do decide to include it.

The Ramblers decision seems crazy especially given the existence of the Scottish and Welsh parliaments - how will they be able to lobby from London? The press release that was on the Scottish Ramblers website has been pulled this morning.

Thanks Paul. Shouldn’t be a problem - we have a fit and strong camera team. And by the way, many thanks for publicising the Ramblers story - appreciate that.

Cheers Cameron, would be great if we could help. I don’t know how much camera gear is needed and how easy it would be to get it down to the Hunish, but it would be well worth it!

Thanks for all that Paul. We might well begin at Rubha Hunish - the guy who runs the Duntulm Castle Hotel was rhapsodysing about it, and the whales! The big probl;em we’ll have on this journey is what to leave out!!!
I might well contact you when we arrange our first bout of filming.

Sorry, forgot to mentoon. You really should start at Rubha Hunish, north of Duntulm, with a little easy scramble down the cliffs. Guaranteed whale-sightings in the summer, and probably the most beautiful place on Skye with great cliffs of basalt columns as well as an MBA bothy in the old coastguard lookout.

And not just because it is quite near my house!

Hey Cameron, glad to hear you are doing an Xmas special on Skye. Could I recommend making detours from that Braes roadwalk, one for Ben Tianavaig (the south ridge is fantastic) and one out onto An Aird peninsula, which is stunning, especially with the sea birds at the moment.

I’ve often wondered about setting up a long walk on Skye; you’ve got the northern half, then from Elgol you can continue over to Glasnakille and then along the coast to Torrin, through the cleared villages of Suisnish and Boreraig, then the Marble Line path to Broadford…

That was no doppleganger - that was the real thing. Worst chips I’ve tasted in a long time too
My wife and I were doing a recce for a BBC Scotland Boxing Day documentary which this year will feature a long journey through Skye.

Glad you got the weather Cameron! Been enjoying it myself too. I thought I saw you in the chippy in Kyle the other day but it was a doppleganger! Must say though, “ouch”, to that tent colour at Coruisk

Pray tell what the adventure show is doing on Skye!
