Hiking the Skye Trail was the entire reason for our trip to Ireland and the UK. All I can say is that this was one of the best backpacking trips We have ever done! EVER!! Spectacular is an understatement! The trail is broken up into 7 stages. The few photos attached are of the first 3, and cover over 56 km (with the 2nd being a whopping 28.5 km, the longest single day Deb and I have ever done). When you look at them, every ridge you see in the photos, we either came from or hiked to (Yes even those ones you see in the very distance)! They seemed to never end, but were so incredibly beautiful!

It was a wee bit chilly on the River Ness today. Spoke to Mike and the boys rigging up. The Inverness Angling Club was founded in 1917 and has several shacks along their 3 mile stretch of the Ness River. You can buy a day permit to fish and members can exchange permits with other clubs in Scotland to fish other rivers. On rivers with private beats, you can also buy day permits. Maybe we should get some signs like this for dog owners and kids along the Bow!!

Plans dropped yesterday and it's good news. https://www.alberta.ca/release.cfm?xID=559635746E487-E7C0-4E4F-56BAA61A78EDA86D
