Sunday 9 October to Tuesday 18 October. 9 nights Guest House/Hotel based. 8 places

Skye has been in every Quest programme since our foundation in 1993 and remains one of our most popular destinations. The "Misty Isle" is surely one of the most beautiful parts of the United Kingdom, full of mood and mountains, rivers, bays and lochs. There is all that the landscape photographer could want - but Skye does not give it up that easily, as it is well known for the fickleness of its weather. But the weather makes the mood, and magic moments are never far away - if only the photographer is in the right place at the right time! This year, the trip has been extended to include the dramatic Applecross peninsula.

We will, as usual, be based at The Skye Picture House, near Broadford. This is now under new ownership, but we are promised the same level of service as has been provided by Steve & Gill Terry over the past 17 years The guest house is situated in a stunning location, at the edge of a loch, with superb views, especially for the morning sunrise. Otters and seals can sometimes be seen. A talk by photographer Ken Bryan, who lives on Skye, will be arranged if he is available.

We will fly to Inverness (EasyJet from Gatwick or Luton and other airports). You will be met at the airport for the minibus transfer to Skye.

Price £985 (deposit £200) Single supplement £90. 8 places.

Cost includes full board accommodation, with packed lunch. The price is based on a shared twin room and. a supplement is payable for single occupation. It also includes minibus travel from Inverness airport and on Skye, but not the cost of flights.

*Turn this holiday into a fantastic 16 nights trip by combining it with the Wester Ross/Durness trip – see above – for a total price of £1780. Deposit £400, single supplement £185
