    As Wish Lists go, a wild camp on top of one of Scotland’s finest viewpoints has always been near the top for me. Skye is one of my favourite locations and the viewpoint from Sgurr na Stri was meant to be one of the best places to observe the majesty of the Cuillin.
    Previously I had climbed to near Sgurr Hain from Elgol, and also made it to Druim Hain from Sligachan in years gone by, but I had yet to reach the summit of Sgurr na Stri… Years passed and this adventure remained stuck to the top of the Bucket List ….. until now. The stars had lined up perfectly……
    1- A green light from the wife to have two days in the mountains…
    2- Fitness almost back at 100% post knee surgery….
    3- The urge to wild camp (it had been months since the last outing)…
    4- Maybe most importantly- a strong easterly breeze….
    Another long work week and I was sure to get an early night on Friday to ready me for an early morning start on the Saturday - wrong! 02.00am and I finally got to sleep for the alarm to wake me 3.5hrs later- maybe it was the excitement and trepidation of what lay ahead!
    The next obstacle was the conditions- heavy snow greeted me north of Perth and care was required, past Pitlochry and things started to look up and fall into place….
    Glen Shiel greeted me with white peaks and blue skies and these conditions remained until Kilmarie… Skye was stunning - all the peaks, Red and Black, had white hats on and the skies were providing them with a suitable crystal blue backdrop… The only fly in the ointment was the wind speeds were forecast to be gusting up to 45mph at Munro level (although I wasn’t headed that high I was still concerned about the gusts on top of the exposed Sgurr na Stri!!).
    I was walking by 11.30 and around mid-day I arrived at my first viewpoint - Am Mam! What a view! Sgurr na Stri had a White Cuillin backdrop which in turn had a dark cloud behind offering amazing contrast! The views were astounding and they only got better. I dropped down to Camasunary Bay (feels like a second home due to copies framed photos of this area at home!) and relaxed and spent time capturing still and film footage. The wind was slight down here and the sun was out, I could’ve stayed forever. However I had a mission to take this adventure off the Bucket List! The tide was out so I managed to cross the Abhainn Camas Fhiooairigh pretty easily. I then headed (slowly!) up the southern side of the corrie. I was feeling it now and the tiredness and big back pack were starting to take their toll! However the views that greeted me as I emerged at the Bealach soon had me forgetting about these woes!! Absolutely stunning - a white capped Black Cuillin Ridge was spread before me! My work wasn’t done yet and I still had a rocky climb to get to the summit, but I had a spring in my step and reached the summit by 15.30. All I can say is the views were bloody brilliant at 11.30 and they only got better and better. The film and photos don’t do it justice, you just have to go and experience it.
    I now had to find a pitch for the tent and I think the one I found maybe the best pitch I have ever had. Views not only to the Cuillin, but to Eigg and Rum and across Loch Scavaig. The other way and Blaven ad Marsco filled the horizon… is this the best view point in Britain?????

    This is the only first video I've watched of yours and definitely not the last. You've probably addressed it by now seeing as it's 5 years old but the mic in the wind and the slow and grainy camera in the dark are the only things stopping this from being a perfect video. If you did that all solo you have put a lot more effort in than people will see on the camera. Thank you for making this video. I went to Skye recently with my mate. Wish I'd seen this video before hand

    Looks like great fun. I have been up Sgurr na Stri in the summer and it's an excellent viewpoint. Also bivvied at the top of the Great Stone Chute in October one time on a solo attempt at the ridge (failed meh). Waking up on the ridge is very special. Also stayed in the hut at Camusunary, and camped close by the Coruisk hut one time before doing the Dubh. All lovely places and I wish I was there now.

Seeing it now brings it back, currently Shielding for 12 weeks at least and wondering will we ever get back. Glen Brittle was a stunning place too. In fact anywhere on Skye was just filled with views. Thanks for the reminder of just how good Scotland's Mountains are.

      The walk we used to do was from where you stated to Camasunary. Then we would do a circular walk, either to loch Coruisk via the "Bad Step" then up Sgurr na Sri. Or vice versa. The worst pat of the walk was the anticipation of how high the river was going to be lol. We've also done it via the coastal walk from Elgol and overland from Sigachan. BTW The view from Elgol into Cullins is also impressive :-)

    Another great video Murray with some fantastic views. I was up there in 2000 taking photos for a book with the story on the Jet that hit the hill in 1982. Like yourself we were greeted with good weather, though being end of May the snow had all but gone from the peaks. The drone footage really makes a difference in these videos. How did you manage to capture yourself walking with the poles and operate the drone at the same time as you walked along Camasunary Bay? Anyhow, you keep making them, I`ll keep watching them. Thanks again! Dave

      Thanks Dave - its an amazing place isnt it :) The drones now have built in GPS and special features that have various modes including things like follow me mode that follows you etc tec - just wonder where the technology will be in a few more years - its moving soo fast at the moment!!

    What a fantastic view you had there! I hope I can one day visit Scotland!
    By the way, I have a little question about the Scarp 1's vestibules as I might be buying one in the coming months and I casually happen to have a very similar backpack as you use in this video. Are they big enough to put a good amount of gear in one (including the backpack) and using the other for shoes and entries/exits?
    Cheers from Argentina!

    Wow, Wow and Wow again! I've seen most of your videos but somehow missed this one. I just got back from Sky in the early hours of this morning (unfortunately no summits) and this video has just left me speechless. I now wish I had a drone! Your still photos are incredible as well, the panorama at 1904 is beautiful. What lens was it shot with? I'm guessing you bracket your exposures because you always capture a wide dynamic range.
