Early morning bag for the 7AM low tide. | robertphillips | 26/02/2024 |
Found an easy way up, eventually, West side, walk South along the coast line till you come to a large tree-stump take a Left up through the wood. I've left some markers, head up to a large sycamore. I've tarted up the cairn a bit, OCD. | DavieRuts | 24/02/2023 |
AFter a 5 Tump circular from my Airbnb in Kilmory (adjacent Lochgilphead I realised that I was going to miss my opportunity as Low tide was 30 minutes before. The landowner drove by and queried what I was doing, after explaining he let me park closer on his land, just off the road, allowing an easy descent onto the shell/sand. I climbed up the ridge but it was slowing me down due to fallen trees, even worse near the summit. I perservered and eventually found the Summit cairn on a bracken mound. Descent Easier keeping to the Weat below the ridgeline and then dropping down earlier to the sand. I had to profile around the bay as the water had almost closed in. I probably had another 40 minutes time. Next tump was Silver Craigs... | Dazingdale | 21/05/2021 |
Eilean Garbh would be a better name; dense bracken defended an obscured summer cairn. | richtea5040 | 25/08/2019 |
crossed shingle at low water easily- seems quite a bit of leeway- and thrashed through bracken and fallen trees to a surprisingly obvious HP. Returned by cutting down to W coast and following shore- preferred route. Unfriendly signs on access route apparently deterring cockle pickers. | Denise | 21/07/2019 |
From the N along private roads with unwelcoming signs. Easily over firm mud/stones scattered with the shells of cockles, mussels and welks to N tip of island. Like others we start up the ridge through deep sopping wet bracken before escaping W into easier woodland. Summit area has windfall trees. | RichardM | 21/07/2019 |
Walked in from public road, at low water but evidently plenty leeway. Keeping just W of ridgeline made for an easy descent, wish I'd gone up that way! Mossy rocky cairn in brackeny clearing | RHW | 13/07/2019 |
Parked on roadside grass verge (NR 8789 8516), walked down the private road and across the tidal strand. Spoke to a cockler who said I had till 4pm. Returned 20 mins later and got wet feet crossing! Apparently it was a misunderstanding - high tide was 4pm... doh! Walked along the spine of the island until reaching the HP, a mossy cairn in a lot of wind fall, not easy going. | jonglew | 01/11/2018 |
Difficult to pinpoint summit due to fallen trees . | chalky1953 | 14/02/2017 |
From NR886855 via The Barr & Silver Craigs. Easy walk across to island at low tide, but very difficult to reach summit due to thick tree cover (at one point had to get down on my stomach to crawl through tunnel of branches). A few rocks mark the highest point which is obvious when reached. Found slightly better route on the way down by staying further East, avoiding the worst of the jungle but having to watch out for the steep drop down to the sea. | Tony J | 08/06/2015 |
