There are good views of the milky way on most nights here. I’m hoping the view from the summit will bee something special.

Well that sounds enjoyable too. Especially the sight of the Milky way ???

Hi Hanna. I was very careful in choosing the word STROLL because the road passes close to the summit and the actual ascent is only about 300 metres vertically. I’m viewing it more as an overnight adventure than a rugged climb.
Cheers, Alen

I’m nothing like as bad as I was but am still pretty nervy when out on my own doing pointy stuff in the west for the first time! I’ve started outdoor climbing now though – single pitch and fairly small limestone crags so I’m definitely improving!

Not only the hills. Achmelvich Bay is superb as is the walk to Stoer point aswell as many other places the wailing widow fall is stunning

Hi Colin. I love that area too. I’ve often looked at Quinaig and the others and made a mental note to climb them, but as yet have not made the effort. There are some beautiful hills in that part of the Highlands.
Cheers, Alen

After all these years and ascents surely you are not still a mountain coward, carol.
