On Top of The World!

A view from the The Storr on the Isle of Skye - known to many as 'The Old Man of Storr' because of the craggy rock which looks like a face.

I climbed the Storr in January 2014 with a friend, we had camped overnight at the bottom, yes right down there at the foot. The wind and rain howled and shook the campervan all night. We set the alarm early, the storm wasn't subsiding so we slept for another hour. Waking up to an eerie calmness which we took advantage of and quickly set off on our way.

When we reached this point, the sun was rising,... a spectacular sight. Scotland and it's islands had already given us a wonderful array of light-show wonders. This morning was one of the best ever. We were rained on, hailed on, snowed on, shined on and blown around ... a lot. But we persevered and stayed there, watching and waiting, enjoying the experience, meeting other photographers until we moved on to our next point of call.
