Bonxies relatively relaxed about it. | ARM | 18/05/2016 |
RIB trip over, then walk on the sands to the wooden walkway path which you leave to gain the summit and the trig with no flush bracket. | Dugswell2 | 11/06/2014 |
The excitement of the island is not reaching the summit trig. However the views of the cliffs, stacks and birdlife compensate very well. | Martin R | 11/06/2014 |

beautiful day, no puffins in sight though, too early in the season, and it had been too cold according to the Trust people. Big smoke clouds on the main land due to out of control fires. | tallblond | 02/04/2013 |

With: sj da; Got the tourist boat across from Tarbert and did the usual walk all around the island, taking in the Great Stack and the high point as well as the RSPB warden's hut. Drizzly day which is why we weren't climbing real hills. | Ian Baines | 20/07/1978 |
