Parked after farm before the beach. A great tidal island. | Dugswell2 | 04/06/2022 |
Parked at the end of the road just after the derelict seaweed factory. Nice walk across the sand and up onto the grassy summit. With Dugswell2. | Dangerous Dave | 04/06/2022 |
Bus to about 1 km away, then very pleasant walk. B&B Landlord reckons it is clear most of the time. Certainly at least 3 hours either side of low tide at Barra. Lovely walk back along beach until opposite Daliburgh. | Thearlaichdubh | 26/04/2022 |
Parked by road end barns, tarmac road but very rough. | PeteF | 22/04/2022 |

Easy crossing. With B and R | jenx | 15/09/2019 |
Walked out to the beach from Daliburgh and did this one on the way to Pollachor - lovely couple of tops. No seaweed issues. | nicolajane | 16/08/2019 |
Parked at the beach by Garrynamonie (NF738164), walked over the machair, over the sands and to both summits, returned to parking area over the beach. Sun rather obscured by clouds but the sands were still dazzlingly white. | pwheeler | 23/05/2019 |
Very dry at low water, suggesting there is quite a bit of leeway for access. Unmapped concrete jetty on south side of joining beach. Grassy summit, easy walking. | Denise | 18/05/2019 |
Parked NF 7323 1743, could have driven much further. | jonglew | 08/08/2018 |
Sunny intervals, breezy. Lots of interesting wild flowers. | Trotticus | 24/06/2018 |
A delightful walk across the sand, with the machair in flower on Orasay. | Nick Down1 | 18/07/2017 |
zero visibility - horrendous quicksand but still bagged this terrifying summit !!! | Ultima Thule | 19/02/2017 |
Wild and windy. Stunning location. | Barbara Singer | 06/04/2016 |
Spit was covered with very smelly seaweed. Unstable sand in places but solid next to the rocks. | Campbell Singer | 06/04/2016 |
Parking by horrific fishing net place gone bust. Lovely when you get to the island. | jimbloomer | 28/09/2014 |
Easy 10 mins across sands at low tide. Done twice. First time(2012)with my 3 children, 2nd time(2019) solo while my wife just wandered the beach. Both times done as an extra hill after something bigger. | pdantic | 10/08/2012 |
