Along the Sleeping Warrior

(Photo blog by Will Mawson)

 Strange how often grey cloud gathers in the Witch's Step!

The informative Undiscovered Scotland website (www.undiscoveredScotland.co.uk) describes the sight of the Sleeping Warrior ridge from the top of the Boguille Road as follows:

"Visitors...... will be amazed by the sight that greets them as the road crests the end of the glen south of Lochranza on the road to Corrie. Here you are confronted by some of the most jagged, brutal and stunningly impressive mountain scenery anywhere in Scotland. This is on a par with the Cuillin of Skye but benefits through being smaller in scale and much closer to the road."

 Please be aware that to do this ridge route to the summit of Caisteal Abhail via Suidhe Fheargas and Ceum na Caillich (Witch's Step) in winter, you need winter mountaineering skills and equipment.
