After 2003 and 2004 it was time for the third WalkIslay in April 2005. A lot of interesting walks again this time, some in bad weather, some in excellent weather. The map on the left indicates the places of the walks I participated in:

Follow me through the week and on the walks, starting with the outbound journey. We then had a quite wet start on Sunday and Monday before the weather improved for our day on the Isle of Jura. Visibility wasn't as good as we had hoped, nevertheless we still had great views from Beinn Bheigier. After the hills we turned to the moor and the shoreline for the RSPB Loch Gruinart walk on the Thursday. Suddenly Friday and therefore the last day of WalkIslay 2005 had arrived, as had my birthday. At least we had two very nice walks left: First a sunny walk from Kilchoman to Kilchiaran, then an evening walk at Portnahaven. Can there be a better way to spend a birthday? Unfortunately all good things come to an end, only the departure from Islay and travelling back to Swindon left.
I also created a number of QuickTime VR panoramas (you need the QuickTime VR plugin to view them) from some of the walks:
