The second of the three walks I did on Skye during a short break with my brother. We walked out to visit the broken Brocks on the Waternish peninsular. A mostly good track lead us out to the old relics, it was a bit boggy in places and we dodged around the worst of it. The weather was windy and cold, but the rain mostly held off for us, until the final few yards as we got back to the car. We never quite made it to the lighthouse, we could see the weather turning and cut the walk short. Another good test for the knee, which feels fine now. The two Brocks are both in complete ruins and not really worth the visit if I am being honest with myself.
