From the map the straightforward approach seemed to be from the west where a short marked track starts the walk. I didn’t take a reading but roughly NF758164
The start |
Looking at the hill from this angle it would struggle to get a 2 out of ten. But, from the top it is a different story, well worth the short climb and if you get a clear day 10 out of 10 for the views.
Muddy track |
Follow the gates |
Pole into 1st notch |
Looking back at burnt areas |
View north |
Another cairn in distance |
Looking towards Lochboisdale the water patterns of the island are apparent. The ferry is still docked, strange, but later found out that all sailings are cancelled today, south and north because of this wind.
Behind Lochboisdale Beinn Mhor still has a heavy cloud shroud. I had hoped to go up it but the forecast for my remaining days suggest not. When I do go up I want to enjoy it and get the views.
Eriskay |
Wild landscape |
A short hill walk which I will do again on a clear day as those views are superb and can get better.
Time: 1hr 47m
