Skye 1978. Loch Coruisk (I swam in it; easily the coldest swim of my life!)

Skye 1978.  Loch Coruisk (I swam in it; easily the coldest swim of my life!)
Loch Coruisk is an inland freshwater loch that is situated in the very heart of the Black Cuillins, an impressive granite horseshoe mountain range, the closet Britain gets to Alpine conditions.
This photo looked good when originally taken in 1978 but I have had to heavily doctor it just to get something worth showing!
Scanned from a damaged print.

PAM,
Very many thanks!
I nearly posted it a few times before, including on Pano, but shied away from doing so at the last moment! The sad thing is that I had many photos of Skye taken on my trusty Pentax ME SLR but they are all in a far worse state than this and the prints are languishing in Cornwall. I may have another look at them next time I'm back there but they will probably have to be ditched, sadly. I have a (very) few slides which have been shown here (under my Skye album), but they're no great shakes. My favourites are all long past it, I'm afraid!

I like this one Andy..................I think it really captures the spirit of the Black Cuillins...................and I have nothing but admiration for anyone who goes wild swimming in Skye (even though I think it's complete madness). :-)))

I've been to Skye a couple of times now...............it's one of the most wonderful places I've ever been!

I last went in 1980. I'd love to go again.
I didn't go skinny-dipping a second time I can assure you, Keith!

Well Andy, what a view! The Isle of Skye was a must see when we were in Scotland years ago! It's a breathtaking place and so pleased we were able to visit. I went to the following link:

skyeguides.co.uk/useful-links click on news and pics

not for the guide information but the wonderful photographs of the area in the winter. WOW
