Intention to complete an FKT of Skye Trail on weekend of Saturday 26th and Sunday 27th March 2022.
Looks like an epic adventure, congratulations!
I just finished hiking the whole Skye Trail and since I'm here for a few more days I thought I'll give the FKT a go! Plan is to start at the North in the morning (9/15). Looking to establish a Male's Unsupported Time. You can follow along on my Instagram hunter_leininger
Run started on Sunday 06:32am, finished just after midnight. Generally very good weather for running, but conditions under foot were really bad. I ran from the North to the South, solo but with road support and drone operator for filming. Run finished in 17h49min20s.
Advise to whoever will have another go- the gpx file is not correct in many places, it wades off from main paths and brings you to pretty sketchy places (it's definitely a file fault). Some of the paths from the gpx file are also closed due to the erosion.
