| This stack looks very do-able. There is a straightforward route down a gully to the base and an easy clamber at low tide on the west side to reach a steep grassy slope with puffin burrows up to the summit. However, if the height is only 30m then this isn't a tump, as it doesn't get cut off at high tide. And the answer to Chris's question is yes, there is a boat on its side just a few yards from the NW point of the stack. | Gallovidian | 28/06/2023 |
| Not ticked. Info only. I 'found' this remote Stack Tump on a prowl around Rhum using OSM. Is that the stack in the background (?)of a photo on the web of the French trawler Jack Abry II ( based at Lochinver with an all French crew) which ran aground at night in Jan 2011when the skipper fell asleep on watch.,having misinterpreted the chart plotter due to heavy squalls giving scatter interference, AND switching off the second chart plotter to listen to music on the computer instead, AND switching off automatic track alarms, because it was irritating ! All 14 crew were winched to safety by Stornaway helicopter on a nasty stormy night. Boat written off. Is it still there?.The skipper had in 2000 been one of only 3 crew who survived a tragedy on a different boat after spending 8 hours in the water before being rescued. Understandably he was quick to raise the alarm this time and call for rescue. | Chris Pearson | blank |
