| Rough and boggy circuit from parking at Orbost | govanah | 17/09/2023 |
| From Orbost parking, then down track to bay, W along shore, up a track (signposted obscurely behind shrubs) just before the stream before the first forestry, up to deer fence, W along inside of deer fence to a dilapidated gate, through that, then followed the fence W until it turned down towards river, continued towards Bealach Bharcasaig, turning NW and up S ridge to summit, then trig, descended by trodden path down E ridge, turning NE to An Cruachan and towards Ceall Bhuidhe, then turned SE down to outward route (a much better return that outward), and back to start (4h15m) | kdbennett | 01/06/2023 |
| With Dave Roeder. Parked at Orbost and followed the road and start of Dunvegan path, then the fence line WSW from NG 256445 till it bends southward. Then W over the low col and the Osdale river to the E ridge of the North Table. Fortunately reasonably dry going. Long pull up to the summit (in cloud, 13:10). Followed the ridge line round over Beinn na h-Uamha to the South Table, also in cloud (15:05). Continued S then SE to Beinn Bhac-ghlais (not in cloud, 16:30). Descended the ridge ENE and finally S to a wet track which led past NG 246407 to the Idrigill track and thence back to the car park (18:25). Long day, few summit views but no rain. | dbb | 13/05/2023 |
