From parking at the start of the old road, just W off the causeway. Followed the Hebridean Way to its high point N of Carran then southwards to its summit. Continued S, climbing steadily over heather, rock and wet pools to Heileasbhal Mor. From here, quite a steep zig-zaggy descent E to Bealach na-Ciste, then an equally steep clamber up to An Coileach and its Trig. Another tricky descent eastwards, this time to Bealach Garbh, followed by a climb to the less distinct top of Ceann Reamhar na Sroine. N to bag Maoladh Mhicearraig before a final descent NNE to pick up the Web Way once again. | summitter | 11/09/2023 |
Rain and low cloud. Up onto the ridge from the east following wooden posts marking the Hebridean Way. With Mntainman. | Dangerous Dave | 20/09/2022 |
Circuit From the delightful sandy Horgobost campsite in grey windy weather . Hard to stand up on top. Cairn on false summit; slab at HP. Typical Lewis terrain of boggy pathless slabs and grass. Onto Holasmul. | Denise | 13/05/2022 |
From good parking just at the start of the old road, close to the new causeway. Along the old road, then up the Hebridean Way, which gives a sort of path to take you about 1/2 way up the lovely Carran. Nice easy strolling over Carran, then more complex bumpy ground to the bealach and part way up Heileasbhal Mor with lush, spongy vegetables. Nicer ground towards the top, with little lochans below the rocky summit. Best to visit all 3 summit candidates in case of tampering. Down on spongy vegetables to the easier going through the bogs around the remains of Loch Heileasbhal. Great lumps of peat along the river on the way down and huge slabs exposed by landslips. Easy river crossing at the confluence despite heavy rain the day before. Rough going to join the track along the nasty scruffy run of river scheme. | Gill | 10/09/2021 |
