Re: The Red Cuillin

Thanks Bill for your boundless information. Sgurr nan Gillean was a possibility, but I have recently heard that a bridge on the main route from Sligachan has collapsed very recently and until it has been repaired a mammoth detour is involved.
I noticed Marsco on the map and it does look an interesting prospect. However, it is all weather dependent. In the past I have been up there and the Black Cuillin are shrouded in cloud, whilst the Red has been bathed in sunshine. I am slightly bothered about the Black Cuillin as earlier in the year I was suffering with a knee problem. It seems fine now, but I wouldn't want to set it off again on a too demanding scramble.

Regards, Chris
