Parked overnight in the CP on the A859 near Loidse Ath Linne, where the fish kiosk is. Up the track above Abhainn a Mhuil the next morning, quite soon veering off to get over said burn and clamber up the heathery SE flank of Mullach Bhiogadail. Once near the top we contoured around to Mullach a' Ruisg, doubled back to Mullach Bhiogadail and on to Liuthaid, all three surmounted with fine cairns. A steep descent E back to the glen track than a more gentle climb up to Cearnabhal. The sun was out and the sky remained blue so we pressed on northwards to grab Cleit Faoph returning back to the track at its northern end once done. A final up and down of Beinn a' Mhuil to complete a fine round, taking about 6hrs total. | summitter | 07/09/2023 |

ACW circuit of Beinn a'Mhuill, Cearnabhal & Liuthaid (including two minor tops). With Gill & John. Super hill walk - typically good Harris/Lewis scenery/terrain. Some rain & mist, but overall weather not too bad. (11km, 760m). | ger | 27/05/2019 |
Parked on the wide verge opposite the start of the track, up this and then direct to Beinn a'Mhuil, and along the lovely ridge to Cearnabhal. Down to the track from the bealach and across the bogs at the watershed to pick up a rake heading NW above and below bands of crags, then NW ridge to Liuthaid. On to Mullach Bhiogadhail, down the ruined fence to cross the river and up to the track. A fine walk, splendid views and mainly easy going. | Gill | 27/05/2019 |
