The Best View in Britain
There has been debate in the UK recently as to what the best view in Britain is. The view from Snowdon in Wales was voted the best. But, you can take a train to the top and tens of thousands of people do it every year. To get to Sgurr na Stri on the Isle of Skye, Scotland, requires a trek of 15 miles / 24km over rough tracks and featureless peat bogs, then climb the mountain. You need to camp out to get the sun striking the Cuillin mountains in the morning, so you have to carry all your camping and photography gear, in my case a 25kg pack. All for this.... in my opinion, indisputably - 'The Best View in Britain'. Very few people are prepared to do it - so it gets few votes.
