| Rough and boggy circuit from parking at Orbost | govanah | 17/09/2023 |
| 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 |
| Macleod's tables from corner of road. Clockwise loop, Healabhal Bheag, Beinn na h-Uamha, Healabhal Mhor. Really boggy, very few sections of path. A real slog. 14.5 km in 4.5 hrs | Nicky C | 19/10/2021 |

| From track to Osdale, small paring area near gate. Followed track to Osdale, just before gate signposted path off to the right follows the north bank of river to start then steepening grassy slopes to spongy summit area. Sunny great views to the Long Isles. Continued on to the other tables | N.Morters | 28/05/2017 |
| late afternoon in this glorious blue sky decide evening is too glorious to waste and risk parking up at end of the cul-de-sac road on east side of Glendale to head up the hills that head over Beinne na Creiche, with a trig pillar towardsand Beinn an Fhraoich and Healabhal Mhor, then back west over Beinn na Coinnich and Beinn na Uisge, whose summit I dont leave til 10.58pm. | vegibagger | 25/05/2017 |

| From Osdale a path was followed on the north side of the stream until a crossing point about a 1km upstream. The top is more of a sponge than a table but a walk around its perimeter make it very worth while for the views. | mindlessflogger | 16/02/2015 |
