Two of the Paps of Jura seen from the third one, Beinn Shiantaidh (757m). Beinn a’Chaolais (733m) on the left and Beinn an Oir (785m) on the right. The Sound of Islay with Islay on the other side in the background.
On the last day of the Islay walking week 2013 we went on a long anticipated excursion to neighbouring Jura: In the 11th year of Walk Islay we were finally going to conquer one of the Paps of Jura, Beinn a’Chaolais (733m). These are some of the walkers (20 made it to the top) at the summit in perfect weather. In the background Beinn an Oir (left, 785m) and Beinn Shiantaidh (right, 757m).
Two different ferries in Port Askaig: On the left the Eilean Dhiura, the small ferry serving Jura across the Sound of Islay. On the right the MV Hebridean Isles, connecting Islay with the mainland at Kennacraig.
