Kayak from pier at Rubha Ban. Landed at Geodha Chruidh on E side of Wiay. 700m of appalingly bad ground. Kayaked further round for the island high point.jonglew08/09/2023

RHSoc outing organised by Steve Gillions .... cheers Steve. We landed at Camas na Cille. Rough terrain to Wiay high point and even worse to the Trig. At least it was dry and sunny with less wave action than was anticipated.summitter24/05/2023
Here for the trigpoint. TP:UK log: 10 for the view -10 for the terrain. Getting on and off the RIB isn't easy, then you have to get across the slippy whippy beach boulders, up the slippy whippy gorge, then the fun begins, very very deep boggy holey ground that when you look at it looks ok and quite solid. Very hot in all the boat gear, hard to wear suitable clothing for crossing and trig bagging but sooooo glad to have it in the bag.thejackrustles12/05/2021
