Day 4 of our Scottish oddysey saw us ascend the great stone chute to Sgurr Alisdair, the highest point on the Cuillin and indeed the island. The low cloud, as seen in the picture, added to the sense of occasion. After dodging a couple of suitcase sized rocks on the scree slope, dislodged by one of our party, we got to the top. It was at that moment the cloud blew through, showing the "dramatic" exposure on the summit. A ginger retreat on my part saw us back to the slope, the corrie, the car, the cottage and the beer fridge.
