1 of 7 from Borve. | robertphillips | 18/06/2023 |
From Borve along road then track before heading up directly picking a line between exposed rock. Overcast day following mini heatwave. Nice fine hill and viewpoint with Dave/Jill. | N.Morters | 17/06/2023 |
Parking area at road junction to Craigston. Straight up from road end. With Jill & Nigel. | Dangerous Dave | 17/06/2023 |
Along the Hebridean Way from the seaside CP at the entrance to the Craigston/Borve minor road. Once W of Grianan climbed across dry grasses and heather to the summit. Back down to HW and across bone-dry ground to Beinn Mhartainn. Continued W over slabs and grass back to the beach road. | summitter | 12/06/2023 |
With Grianan, from Craigston, via the Hebridean Way. | Chris Peart | 09/08/2018 |
Very enjoyable rocky climb up from the west. Dun Bharpa chambered cairn particularly intriguing on the way over to Grianan. | Alex C | 08/08/2018 |
Round of Mhartainn, Grianan, Ghunnaraidh, Hartabhal, Sheabhal N, Sheabhal, Cadha Mor, B na Moine, B Leribreck starting from Dunard Hostel and walking up the road to Borgh - tops mainly in mist, but occasional views. | Thearlaichdubh | 05/08/2018 |
Small cairn on rock outcrop. Stupendous views N and S on a sunny clear day- beaches could be the Bahamas. Approached along coast from Borve campsite and continued SE to Granan. | Denise | 29/04/2018 |
Final Barra tump. From Baile na Creige, straight up the S face. Verry steep grassy slopes in places, and craggy - nice walk. | jonglew | 17/08/2017 |
With Mora, from parking area at nl679987 | BLACKHILL | 14/05/2015 |
W Jenx and Bob K. Walking horsehoe from Tangasdal - over Beinn na Moine, Cadha Mor, Heaval, Heaval Nrth top, Hartaval, then steeply onto Grinnan and then Mhartainn via impressive Dun, boggy col area though. Walk back up road to start. | nordicstar | 08/07/2014 |
Craigstone to Castlebay. | Smudge | 08/05/2014 |
Grianan and Beinn Mhartainn from end of minor road. | tim747 | 07/05/2014 |
Farting Hill bagged with Iain Brown and Martin Richardson, mild with rain on the summit. | Dugswell2 | 06/05/2014 |
I will not be as coarse as Dugswell. Nice little hill, shame about the shower on the top. | Martin R | 06/05/2014 |
