参见：英国徒步

The Skye Trail is an unofficial route without waymarks on the route. The route is suitable for experienced backpackers as there are sections with no path and a long ridge traverse. It links together existing footpaths, trods, and open moorland to form a continuous walk from Rubha Hunish in the north to Broadford in the south. The trail typically takes between 5 to 7 days to complete, depending on pace and weather conditions. The route includes challenging highlights such as the Trotternish Ridge and the Cuillin foothills, along with quieter coastal and glen sections. (Skye Trail 是一条非官方路线，没有标记。由于部分路段没有小径，且需要进行长距离的山脊穿越，因此该路线适合经验丰富的背包客。它连接了现有的小径、羊肠小道和开阔的荒野，形成了一条从北部的 Rubha Hunish 到南部的 Broadford 的连续徒步路线。根据行进速度和天气条件，徒步完成此路线通常需要 5 到 7 天。路线包括特罗特尼什山脊和库林山麓等挑战性亮点，以及较为宁静的海岸和峡谷路段。)

Due to the lack of waymarking and infrastructure, it is not recommended for beginners or those without strong map and compass skills. That said, for well-prepared walkers, it offers one of the most rewarding and spectacular long-distance hikes in the UK. (由于缺乏标记和基础设施，不建议初学者或没有熟练的地图和指南针技能的人士尝试。话虽如此，对于准备充分的徒步者来说，它提供了英国最令人满意和壮观的长距离徒步路线之一。)

The trail is mapped on Waymarked Trails: Skye Trail. (该路线已在 Waymarked Trails 上标示：Skye Trail。)

准备

The Skye Trail is an unofficial route and is not waymarked, so you'll need a map and compass, or a GPS device, and strong navigation skills. You'll also need a high level of fitness. The terrain is often boggy, steep, and exposed to the elements. There are no permits required. (Skye Trail 是一条非官方路线，没有标记，因此您需要地图和指南针，或 GPS 设备，并具备出色的导航技能。您还需要具备良好的体能。地形通常泥泞、陡峭，并暴露在恶劣天气中。不需要许可证。)

餐饮

You must carry all of your own food and a camping stove. There are only very limited opportunities to resupply with basic items, such as in Portree and the Flodigarry Hostel. There are no restaurants or shops on the trail itself. (您必须携带所有食物和露营炉。沿途只有极少数可以补充基本物品的地方，例如在 Portree 和 Flodigarry Hostel。徒步路线上没有餐馆或商店。)

饮品

You must carry enough water for the day's hike. While there are many streams, it's essential to purify all water you collect from the wild. A water filter or purification tablets are highly recommended. (您必须携带足够一天徒步所需的水。虽然有许多溪流，但净化您从野外收集的所有水源至关重要。强烈建议携带滤水器或净水片。)

住宿

Wild camping is the only option for much of the route. You'll need to carry a lightweight tent, a warm sleeping bag (three-season or four-season depending on the time of year), and a sleeping mat. There are a few accommodation options in villages at the start and end of some sections, such as Portree and the Flodigarry Hostel, but these should be booked well in advance. There are two bothies along the route that may be used as well. (路线的大部分区域只能进行野外露营。您需要携带轻便的帐篷、保暖睡袋（根据季节选择三季或四季睡袋）和睡垫。在一些路段的起点和终点村庄，例如 Portree 和 Flodigarry Hostel，有一些住宿选择，但应提前预订。沿途还有两个简易小屋可供使用。)

气候

The weather on the Isle of Skye is highly unpredictable and can change rapidly. Be prepared for strong winds, heavy rain, and mist at any time of year. Snow is common in winter, making the trail very difficult and dangerous. Layered waterproof and windproof clothing is essential. The trail is best attempted from late spring to early autumn. (斯凯岛的天气极难预测，变化迅速。一年中的任何时候都要准备好应对强风、大雨和浓雾。冬季常有降雪，使路线非常困难和危险。分层穿着防水防风的衣物至关重要。最佳徒步季节是从晚春到初秋。)

环境

The Skye Trail passes through a fragile environment. Adhere to the principles of Leave No Trace and the Scottish Outdoor Access Code. Be prepared for midges, especially in the summer months; insect repellent is a must. Check for ticks after each day's hike. Dispose of all waste properly, and do not light fires. (Skye Trail 穿过一个脆弱的环境。请遵守“不留痕迹”原则和苏格兰户外准入守则。请准备好应对蠓虫，尤其是在夏季；驱虫剂是必备品。每次徒步后请检查是否有蜱虫。妥善处理所有废物，不要生火。)

The trail begins at Storr car park, offering an easier stage after the challenging ridge. A short road walk leads to rough moorland, then joins the coastal cliffs. Hikers follow a route along the cliff tops with views over the Sound of Raasay. On clear days, the isle of Raasay and the mainland are visible. A side trip descends to Bearreraig Bay, known for fossils, while those who skipped The Storr may opt for a late ascent. The terrain begins pathless and boggy, but improves along the cliffs, where caution is needed near steep drops. The stage ends in (路线从 Storr 停车场开始，是在艰苦的山脊徒步后一段更为轻松的路段。短暂的公路行走后，进入崎岖的荒野，然后连接到海岸悬崖。徒步者沿着悬崖顶部行进，可以俯瞰 Raasay 海峡。在晴朗的日子里，可以看到 Raasay 岛和大陆。可以选择绕道前往以化石闻名的 Bearreraig 海湾，而那些跳过了 The Storr 的人可以考虑稍后攀登。地形开始时没有小径且泥泞，但在悬崖边会改善，靠近陡峭的悬崖边缘需要小心。这一段结束于)4 Portree, Skye's main town, with full services including accommodation, shops, and transport links.

Historical note: The Braes was the site of the Battle of the Braes (1882), a crofters' land rights uprising near Camastianavaig, though no markers remain. (从 Portree 出发，路线沿着一条小路穿过 The Braes，这是一个宁静的农区，可以欣赏到 Raasay 海峡的景色。与之前的崎岖路段相比，这一段显得宁静，途经宁静的海岸风光。历史提示：The Braes 是 1882 年布雷斯战役的发生地，这是一场农民土地权利起义，发生在 Camastianavaig 附近，但已无任何遗迹。)

This stretch is exposed and challenging, with uneven terrain that demands careful footing. In wet or windy weather, the path can be hazardous. (海湾附近的 Camasunary 简易小屋提供休息或过夜的地方。从那里，路线沿着狭窄的海岸小径前往 Elgol，穿越海岸线上方的陡峭斜坡。这段路段暴露且具有挑战性，地形不平，需要小心行走。在潮湿或有风的天气里，这条路可能很危险。)

The terrain varies, with a mix of road walking and a marshy footpath in the mid-section. Livestock graze in these areas, so dogs must be kept under control. Compared to previous stages, this is a more relaxed day of walking. The stage ends at (地形多变，包括公路行走和中间一段泥泞的小径。牲畜在这些区域放牧，因此必须控制好狗。与之前的路段相比，这一天比较轻松。这一段结束于)8 Torrin , a small village on the loch shore.

Near Boreraig and Suisnish, the trail passes the remains of two settlements abandoned during the Highland Clearances. Stone ruins and grassy outlines of former blackhouses are all that remain after the 1853 evictions ordered by Lord MacDonald. A sign along the way explains the history. (这段宁静的海岸路段可以清晰地看到大陆的山脉和 Scalpay 岛。在 Boreraig 和 Suisnish 附近，路线经过了在苏格兰高地移民期间被废弃的两个定居点的遗迹。在 1853 年 MacDonald 勋爵下令驱逐后，只剩下石头废墟和曾经黑屋子的草地轮廓。路边有一个牌子解释了这段历史。)

The terrain consists mainly of grassy tracks and footpaths, with occasional boggy sections but minimal difficulty. Some parts lack a defined path, though navigation remains straightforward along the coastline. As Broadford approaches, the route transitions to a farm track and then a quiet road. (地形主要由草地小径和 footpath 组成，偶尔有泥泞路段，但难度不大。有些地方缺乏明确的小径，但沿着海岸线导航仍然很容易。随着 Broadford 的临近，路线逐渐转变为农用道路，然后是一条安静的公路。)
