Half a day as an ant




Following on from the Fairy Glen we proceeded to head north through the Isle of Skye. Again on the good advice of the hostel managers in Portnalong, we drove inland rather than continuing along the coast.

We wound our way through some fairly barren terrain before suddenly we went over a hill and it was like we had reached the end of the earth. It was almost as though we had stepped into a set from the Lord of the Rings with 360-degree views of the most magnificent mountains, sprawling lowlands and oceans as far as the eye could see.

There was a walking track through the mountain range, which was fantastic. We sat at the top and felt so small and insignificant compared with the awe-inspiring terrain that lay before us. It was a bizarre feeling – in the space of a few hours we had gone from feeling like giants to ants.
