Beinn nam Ban
From the parking area head in a south easterly direction picking the easiest line up broken hillside and rocky ground towards the summit of the hill. The west face of the hill is very steep and craggy and so care should be taken when choosing a place from which to launch.

Beinn nam Ban lies on the peninsula between Little Loch Broom and Loch Broom. There is only one road leading on to the peninsula and this well signposted, about 3km east of the village of Dundonnell, on the A832 Ullapool to Gairloch road. Turn off the A832 at the signpost and follow the single track road to a high point just before it doubles back to drop down to the coast again. Park here, taking care to block neither the passing places nor the gated track which leads north down to the remote Altnaharrie Inn, an exclusive haute cuisine restaurant hotel on the side of Loch Broom!
Watch out for a rapidly strengthening sea breeze which can catch out the unwary.
