Checking in
The Storr will run for six nights a week (Monday to Saturday), from 1st
August till 17th September 2005. Each night audience members will check
in by a specified time, between 10.30 and 11pm, at either An Tuireann
arts centre in Portree, or Staffin Community Hall. They will be assigned
to a group of around 25, and given an introduction to the event and safety
briefing by an expert guide. A Gaelic-language introduction will be available
for audience members checking in at 10.30pm in Portree.
Each group will then board a coach or minibus which will take them to
the start of the walk up to the Old Man of Storr and back again. Roughly
two hours later, between 1.00am and 2.00am, the coaches/minibuses will
pick everyone up and deliver them back to Portree or Staffin once more,
from where they make their own way home.
Clothing
What (not) to wear!
Swimwear!
No matter how good the weather has been, you must either wear or carry
warm and waterproof clothing. You will also need sturdy boots which provide
support for your ankles. We recommend that you bring a small backpack
with a spare jumper, hat and gloves. Other useful items include walking
poles, midge cream, and a flask with a hot drink. Everyone will be provided
with a small head torch at the beginning of the walk – to be returned
at the end.
