A counter-clockwise circuit of Kilda's Humps, Tumps and other bumps with Deana, Carol & Calum. Starting with mist, wind and rain from the campsite to Oisebhal then over to the two trigs of Conachair. Only then did the mist clear, giving clear-sight of our next objectives ... Mullach Mor, Claigeann Mor, Mullach Bi & its North Top, then the wonderfully positioned promontory of An Campar. Now reduced to just me and Calum, we contoured back around the westerly peaks to get a quick bag of Ruabhal before our boat departure deadline was breached. All easily done within the allotted 4.5 hrs and our tents packed up by our better, more sensible better-halves to boot. | summitter | 09/09/2023 |

Last morning of a visit to Hirta on yacht Zuza (an afternoon, full day and a morning). Cloud mostly down but initially clear today. 
Got Mullach Mor (via track) clear but cloud moving in to cover top of Conachair, carried on to Oisebhal, also now in cloud. 
Return via An Lag. | clashcityrocker | 16/07/2021 |

Walked up to The Gap from Village Bay, found the going so good I decided to add this summit to my walk. Cleats (hollow cairns in which the St Kildans stored dried food) in rows all the way up this hill; sheer cliffs on the other | pwheeler | 12/05/2019 |

Pre-dawn trip as an 8am attack on Dun planned. Nice walk up from the campsite and watch a pre-dawn sky lighten before dropping back down for breakfast and strike camp. | jonglew | 18/09/2017 |

fabulous circuit wander in calm almost windless day over Hirta with Martin Richardson, on my first visit to St Kilda. Along village street, up the winding road to the west over Claigeann Mor to Mullach Bi and NW out to An Campar then east down across the valley and up to Mullach Mor across to Conachair down south to the trig and round by cliffs out to Oisebhal and back to the village.
