My worst in-field experience was probably when we went to the Isle of Skye. I was so excited to go there. I mean, planning took forever, but I still didn’t realise how long the journey was. We started our trip from Glasgow, moving through Loch Lomond and up through Glencoe towards Appin Bay. We had to stay over for a few nights there just to break up the journey. The next morning, we made our way to Skye. I was purely excited as we were passing Oban and headed for the ferry to go on to Skye. All I can think of is all the amazing photos I will take and how incredible it will be. But that’s where it all began. The fog became so heavy that all ferries were cancelled. Not to waste our time, we decided that we would go around and make a quick stop at the iconic Eileen Donan Castle. After we carried on our journey onto Skye, we crossed the Skye bridge, and yes, yes, finally we arrived! But that mist… It was so dense that we couldn’t see anything properly. I kept saying to myself, it will be OK, we still have to drive across the island and it can change. I mean, it always does in Ireland, so surely it will be the same here. But that’s not how it works on the Isle of Skye. So we arrived at the Old Man of Storr and still nothing, the fog as dense as it was and with limited visibility. We were running out of daylight and had to head back. It was quite disappointing at the time, as due to poor visibility and conditions, I didn’t get to capture as much as I wanted to. After coming back to Appin, I said to myself, “It wasn’t a bad trip and it wasn’t a waste of time, not at all.” It was only a dry run, practice for when I come back and I will be ready to take on the day full of exploring, adventure and loads of photos, of course.
