Another evening out on Skye, for once the weather on a trip was holding nicely for me, I never have much luck with it usually... With the promise of a possible decent sunset I decided to head for the opposite West side of the Island and a new location for me, Neist Point, it isn't the easieat of places to get to due to the narrow twisty roads but very rewarding when you reach the end, similar to Elgol in that respect.

Arrived a few hours before sunset to have a good wander around and find a decent spot, finally settling up on the cliffs looking over the cliff line down to the lighthouse, the lightshow didn't disappoint and was beautiful to watch, the Outer Hebrides can be seen in the far right of the frame, South Uist and Barra below it I'm guessing...

The journey back to my tent was made a lot quicker in the dark by the nice local girl from Portree I met who was also out taking pictures, I wasn't sure of the route back so I followed her back to Portree in the car, she drove like Lewis Hamilton so I was back in under an hour which shouldn't have been possible... if you're reading this thanks very much I would definitely have got lost otherwise.
