Circuit from North Glendale. The start of path shown on map not present on ground, so followed track track running E along coast then SE to climb Beinn Bheag. Joined path running SE then climbed Hairtebreac (all the high points), across to Roineabhal, along ridge to Cruachan and Marabhal, and finally the long pull to Easabhal (summit and 3 cairns of similar height) - lots of rock slabs on this hill. Descent back to North Glendale. Hot and sunny. | RobertP | 14/06/2023 |
Parked south of gate beside road after second last house. Then up to last house to join a track to a gate & open hillside enroute to Marabhal, then onto Cruachan via the rocky Stump to the west of it. Then out to Hairtebreac a fine Tump with a fine Stump to the ESE via the corridor route. Down and along to Roineabhal [Roneval] in strong sunshine with Dangerous Dave. Back directly to car contouring around the 150 m level to the south of Cruachan, | Dugswell2 | 04/06/2022 |
Easy walk over from Marabhal with Dugswell2. Hot & sunny. | Dangerous Dave | 04/06/2022 |

Lovely beach approach and excellent views of Eriskay and Barra, climbed with my wife on my 'half-birthday' | pdantic | 08/08/2019 |
My return way to Glendale from Roneval. Good underfoot after a dry spring, this seemed easier than my route up Roneval by the 'coast path'. However, the top W of the tarns had peat hags all the way to its top- not the worst but a tiresome section. Then it was a very easy descent to Glendale, with gates (the first in an advance state of dilapidation) down to the road. | pwheeler | 22/05/2019 |
