Straight up Cnoc a' Bhaid-rallaich from the end of the road, up its W top and on to Ghobhlach, returning via Coire Dearg and the excellent coastal track. | sclater | 04/03/2024 |
Badrallach - rising traverse NW - east up ridge to Cnoc a' Bhaid-rallaich - bealach - Beinn Ghobhlach - around Coire Dearg - coast path | davidpettit84 | 30/05/2023 |
I had planned on heading up An Teallach today, but a late start and an unforecasted band of cloud, made me settle on Beinn Ghobhlach (635m), a Fiona. Started at a Quarry east if the high point of the unclassified road, NH 0989 9163. Crossed the bog and ascended Cnoc a' Bhaid-rallaich, then the spot height of 517m to the west, before dropping down and then ascending Beinn Ghobhlach from the ESE. Great views in all directions, especially of An Teallach to the south. I descended to Badrallach and was able to beg a lift back to my car, probably saving me 1.5hrs walk back up the road...... | chillyman8 | 22/04/2023 |
From end of public road. Walked on for 1.7k before heading up between the 2 lochans and on to the summit. On to Cnoc a' Bhaid-rallaich W Top and main summit. | jonglew | 01/12/2022 |
With Jon Glew. | BigJ | 01/12/2022 |
From the road end at Badrallach. Along the coast path for about 500m then up hillside on the ridge. Walked past the two small lochans up to Cnoc a Bhaid-rallaich W Top (517m). A short walk further east took me to the Marilyn summit of Cnoc a Bhaid-rallaich. Descended to Loch a Bhealaich then easy walk up to the summit of Beinn Ghobhlach. There is no cairn. Lovely walk along the ridge around Coire Dearg with magnificent views over Annat Bay. Walked out on the south side of Allt an Uisge Mhaith to join the coastal path back to the van. Solo.

Ascended from the east side of Loch a'Bhealaich with CM. Cloudy higher up. Descended between the 2 lochs of na h-Uidhe and na Coireig to the excellent path that goes to Badrallach. | bolton | 19/07/2021 |
With Sal from road end. Mist + rain sadly, views from the Infinity Pool loch to S. | davechaffey | 24/05/2021 |
Directly up from public road end to nearby marilyn. Then on to Beinn Ghobhlach. Return between two larger lochs southward then SE to Scoraig path and back to car. Just over 4 hours for round trip. | willyross | 05/03/2021 |
From track between Badrallach and Scoraig, heading up hill on a faint track at NH038925 past Loch na h-Uidhe then to the outlet of Loch na Coireig and roughly straight up to W ridge of Beinn Ghobhlach, across summit (which no longer has a cairn), descending initially E then S and SW back to the Loch na Coireig outlet and down to the track at starting point | kdbennett | 20/08/2020 |
From Cnoc a' Bhaid-rallaich. Aimed for point 381 but ended up a bit to the left. After four days of heavy rain finding a non-quagmire route through the peat hags took a little time. Hit clag and a sharp shower on the ascent and ended up too far north, but once on the horseshoe sandstone summit ridge/plateau the going was much better. Carried on west a little way off the summit then dropped to the south through steep grass and heather aiming for the gap between the two lochs. Unfortunately the tiny stream between the lochs had burst its banks and was a fast flowing torrent, necessitating a detour around the back of the loch. Then over the shoulder and steeply south to the track and back to the road end. 779th Marilyn = half way point.... will never do them all sadly. | Owen B | 31/08/2019 |
From Badralloch, via coast path and Loch na h-Uidhe. Then to Cnoc a' Bhad-raillaich. | IanHHill | 16/07/2019 |

Parked at the end of the road then along the pleasant coastal path. Ascended east up the broad valley just north of the summit. Descended to Loch a Bhealaich heading south for next tick. Sunny day with Kev, Jen and Dave. | mindlessflogger | 19/12/2018 |

with Frances. we parked at Badrallach at the end of the public road; we continued along the path / postman's track towards Scoraig before striking up directly onto the hill; I dropped my map case on the outward leg, but found it again on the way back | langskill | 11/07/2008 |
Very shapely hill when seen across Little Loch Broom from the W. From Badrallach took track W for a while then struck off up hillside past lochans to col between two Marilyns. Beinn Ghobhlach done first. Windshelter and cairns on summit. | Aye Jimmy | 22/10/2007 |
With a friend. From short of Badrallach near standing stone. We struck up the hillside to reach the summit of Cnoc a Bhaid-rallaich. It was cold in a strong wind. Descended to the east end of Loch a' Bhealaich and climbed up to the summit of Beinn Ghobhlach. Descended, crossing the burn below Loch a' Bhealaich and across and up cliffs above Loch na Coireig. We passed a small lochan and then descended to Badrallach. | pwbellarby | 22/05/2007 |
Parked at Badrallach. Very good path led along coast at about 200' asl. Sea an incredible post card Mediterranean blue. Uphill on dryish moor in one foot steps to visible horizon and down to big loch. Passed round W side, over outlet and over wet moor to prow of hill. Occasional bits of path made by deer onto true ridge just before last sandstone summit cone. 12.55. SMC special hill for obvious reasons. to Rallaich. | arranc | 29/06/2005 |
With Shaky from Badrallach. On a cloudy day, climbed more or less straight up the slope to the summit of Cnoc a'Bhaid-rallaich for a good view. Then made our way over to Beinn Ghobhlach by Loch a'Bhealaich for an even better view. Descended W for a short way & then aimed for the gap between Loch na h-Uidhe & Loch na Coireig over rough heathery ground. Up to the cairn at pt. 338m & then down to join the track above Little Loch Broom back to the start. | NotReallyABagger | 01/05/2005 |
From Badralloch. Paths wind their way round natural routes. The summit is great as is the spur N of the corrie. With my brother, who- perhaps to be provocative or just unpredictable- put this as his favourite Ma in Scotland. The view is everything you could hope for from a west coast hill. | pwheeler | 31/05/2004 |
