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).
An impression from the Islay walking week 2013, walkers at the summit of Giur-bheinn in the north of Islay. The Sound of Islay and the Paps of Jura (partially covered by clouds) in the background.
Loch Indaal provides plenty of space for watersports, here someone can be seen waterskiing under the backdrop of the Paps of Jura. The picture was taken from Bruichladdich pier in April a few years ago.
