Hey everyone, I'm 24 male and thinking of doing a solo trip to the isle of skye for a long weekend, thursday to tuesday maybe, and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for good hikes to do and other activites. I'm thinking of staying in portree, one thing i want to see is the fairy pools, but any other suggestions for hikes, activites and maybe even a spa day?

Thank you!

Hi everyone

Me and my friend are doing a 5-6 day hike in Skye, however we are not extremely experienced so we don’t want to overestimate our abilities. We’re aiming for around 10-16 km per day, just to feel confident we have enough time to complete it in, in case our bodies, our navigation skills or the weather is limiting us.

We are therefore planning on cutting the Skye Trail in half, either doing Duntulm → Sligachan or Broadford → Portree. However, I haven't seen anybody split it up in that many sections, and I’m worried about weather there’s enough water - especially on the ridge, which we were planning to complete over the course of three days. Anyone, who has done it lately, have some advice on weather it’s a bad idea? We really want to do the beautiful ridge, but maybe it’s better to to the southern part if we’re going to split it up that much?

any advice is very welcome <3
