From the hostel, north on road to the ford. Carn Loch Fada, Carnan Mora and Meall nan Uan first, then across to here, and return to the ford keeping more SE of the outward track. Tougher walk than expected due to roughness of the ground. Probably around 13km. | jonglew | 12/09/2022 |
3/7 on a cycle round the north of the Island from Arinagour. Left bikes at the wire fence then quick nip up to Clachard, then along to visit burial Ground on beach, admire daffodil field, then quick nip up A Chroic from road, then on to end of road, for epic walk along from Sorisdale over Meall na h-lolaire, Meall nan Uan and Carnan Mora, and back to bikes - not as bad as expected but quite draining. Then found reserves of energy to pick off Beart an Fhir from small field just near the 'dual carriageway' on the road, pleasant climb through the rocks, and then from the bridge by beach up to Creag nan Clamhan (I found the nasty gully, very scratchy - avoid as advised). A day of variety, and great views, but some rough walking. Needed the local gin! | nickywood1 | 22/04/2022 |
Parked on the verge near the road end at Sorisdale. Pleasant walk out, and interesting little hill. | LizH | 23/08/2019 |
From camp by Cnoc Mor via a try to the road end. Biked in a short way until path became theoretical. Moorland easy and a pleasant ascent despite it being a bad leg day. Great views . 
Mad dash to Arinagour for the caff, | fasgadh | 31/07/2019 |
From verge P at NM269633. | summitsup | 05/05/2019 |
Walked from ferry to Sorisdale: no one to offer a lift this time! South on “peat road” track until it petered out, then to summit over rough ground with occasional paths. Dull with some drizzle, but ground blessedly dry after several weeks with little rain. Good view along east side of Coll, but otherwise even Mull and Treshnish Isles hazy. Down towards Meall nan Uan. | mainnirnamfiadh | 15/06/2016 |
Linear walk over Meall na h-Iolaire, Meall nan Uan, Carnan Mora & Creag nam Clamhan. | jimbloomer | 20/06/2015 |
