The traverse of the Rum Cuillin: circuiting the island to the starting point
Dibidil is at the other end of the island almost from Kinloch and it is several hours walk back along the coast from here. Fortunately, it was the longest day, I got back to the starting point at 11pm, after a walk of 14.5 hours (I am sure it can be done a lot quicker, especially if you don't take a camera). The peak to the left is Sgurr nan Gillean. The picture shows how steep the eastern face of the mountain is, necessitating a more or less southerly descent from the summit to avoid the crags.

The other photos have been geo-tagged as on or around the summit. For less busy mountains, it can be a little hit and miss.
