Getting there

Traveling north from Skiag Bridge to Kylesku on the A894, parking can be found beside the road at its highpoint where there is a small carpark that is popular with hillwalkers

Weather

The shape of the mountain, coupled with its craggy slopes presents a number of hazards. In particular it is very important to keep a close eye on conditions to ensure that the wind does not shift too far to the west. This will happen if the sea breeze kicks in and will result in the launch described becoming leeside.

Bit cross and gusty this afternoon, worth waiting for it to back off after 3.
