Does anyone have any experience of taking the turntable ferry onto Skye from Glenelg to Kylerhea and then climbing up towards Broadford?
I'm planning to do a loop from Inverinate soon, going over the Mam Ratagan Pass first (which I have done previously), followed by dropping down to the ferry and then through Skye to the Skye Road Bridge, Kyle of Lochalsh and Eileann Donan Castle. The only bit I've never done before (except by car) is the climb out of Kylerhea, which I seem to recall looking pretty steep and daunting. I don't even know the name of that mountain, so I'm struggling to find anything on the net that sets out the profile or gradient. Google Maps seems to show it simply as "Kylerhea Glen". Anyone got any stats for the climb? (length, average and max gradient, etc). Any Strava files? Someone out there must have done it.
Cheers, Donger.
