Skye Holiday 2010 -Day 1 Saturday 5th June

I left Edinburgh at 13:10 and ended up at Mallaig in 20:00, the fact that I was supposed to be in Kyleleakin at that time is almost irrelevant 18 months later, but at the time it was a pain in the ass given that I'd prepaid a youth hostel which was less than 30 miles away as the crow flies but due to the fact that there was a sea in the way and no handy ferries meant that it would be about a 200 mile trip to get to the right place but oh well I saw some beautiful sights on the way that I wouldn't have seen otherwise like this

Of course I could have turned back and attempted to make it to Skye the way I intended to go but I was concerned that if I went back to Fort William I wouldn't be able to find some where to sleep so carried on to Mallaig , where I stayed a Youth Hostel which was passable but felt quite intimadated by the fact that I was only female in the place and it was a mixed dorm but hey I lived to tell the tale.
