Skye Trail Hiking Guide: GPX files
Kraig Adams, kraigadams.com

These are my own GPS recordings of the Skye Trail, walked in 4 days from
April 28 to May 1, 2026, from the Shulista road end near Rubha Hunish to
Broadford on the Isle of Skye. They show the way I actually walked. There are
no timestamps in these files.

stats.json   Distance, climbing and descent for each day and the total.

Day 1 and Day 3 each have two track segments where my recording paused. The
gaps are only a few yards.

Each day ends where I camped. Those are where I happened to stop, not official
campsites. Follow the Scottish Outdoor Access Code when you wild camp.

On Day 4 I left the usual route at Torrin and walked the B8083 road to
Broadford instead of the coast past Boreraig. The file follows the road.
