In reply to Dan Bailey - UKHillwalking.com:
Rum Cuillin question: all the route descriptions I've read take it from north to south in one long day, with the the nights before and after spent in Kinloch. But it looks like the one sensible approach would be to get the morning ferry across to the island, mess around a bit and then walk along the coast to Dibidibidibi Bothy for the night before getting an early start and doing the traverse south to north on the way back, before getting the last ferry back to the mainland.
Is there any strong reason to do the traverse north to south? Apart from the fact that if you're doing it in a day it's nice to get onto the interesting stuff as quickly as possible?
