In reply to waterfall:
thanks for all the responses and apologies for the late reply.
I may take the wild camping tent, but in all honesty it is our big holiday this year as we aren't going outside of the UK, so we are looking for a little bit of luxury after long hikes.
I am swaying towards this at the moment, as I will currently get three in this way, but need to do some more research:
Islay - Jura - Islay - Oban
Although the ridge walk in Aaran sounds interesting. Please could you let me know its name so I can look it up?
what a fantastic blog too, spent a good 15 mins reading through, love the eye for detail, particularly on wild life! thanks for the share
