It&rsquo;s the same company that runs the <a title="Bella Jane" href="http://www.bellajane.co.uk/">Bella Jane </a>boat to Coruisk, which is a handy way to start the Skye Ridge. The weather over the last week had been fantastic, with warm sunshine and light winds so we were hoping for more of the same on the Friday. However, the weather forecast showed a front coming in from the south west and sure enough, as we sat in blazing sunshine at the tea room in Elgol, high level altostratus started creeping across the sky although the vast expanse of Minch visible from the tea room remained flat calm.</p>
