I'm planning to get a copy Marek!

Last year, I hiked across the dramatic Isle of Skye from coast to coast.

I published my first book #SkyeLine about my journey (5⭐s on Amazon!) as an indie author. Can you help me spread the word? 🙏🏼

For every LIKE, I'll post a photo from my trip in the thread, and I'll follow you if you REPOST. 🧵
Book cover of Skye Line - Backpacking the Original Skye Trail featuring a small tent against a background of a Loch and the Cuillin Mountains. A hand-drawn picture. To the left side is the back cover of the book with a picture of the Northern Lights. And the words: Discover Skye as you've never seen it before as the author traverses the island on foot experiencing a wild landscape of remote lochs and mountains where few people tread. An 82-mile journey from Armadale in the south to the cliff-top bothie at Rubha Hunish in the north. He encounters rain and rainbows, otters and eagles, sun and sea, a windswept night in the mountains, the kindness of strangers, and the Northern Lights. On a visit to Skye over twenty-five years ago, the author purchased a photobook called 'A Long Walk on The Isle of Skye'. Since then the book – and walk contained within – have been calling to him from his bookshelf. Finally, in his late forties, he purchased a light-weight tent and a train ticket to Mallaig to embark on Skye Line - 'The Original Skye Trail'.
