      Taking in Beinn nan Caorach and Cairn Conmheall

      The route could be extended by continuing along the ridge from Sgurr an Fhidhleir to take in the tops of Beinn nan Caorach (649m) and Cairn Conmheall (541m). Rather than heading down the southeast shoulder from Sgurr an Fhidhleir, go southeast briefly then drop northwest to the bealach with the unnamed peak (648m). Ascend this (no paths) then follow the shoulder southwest to Beinn nan Caorach. From there, cross the broad plateau with little further climbing to Cairn Conmheall. Retrace your steps briefly to avoid crags and follow the burn down to the road (12km, 1100m, shown in blue).

      From the Northeast, following the Allt Claoniadh

      Approach the peaks from the northeast following the Allt Claoniadh on a small path from the end of Loch Lurgainn, past Lochan Tuath, then up steeply to the bealach between Sgurr an Fhidhleir and Ben More Coigach (10km, 400m to/from bealach, shown in green).

      Beinn Ghobhlach (635m) ‘forked hill’

Start	GR 055 918
Distance	12km
Ascent	760m
Time	4hr30
Terrain	A remote rugged route that soon leaves all paths behind to climb rough heather then rocky slopes. Good navigation required.
Maps	OS Landranger 19, OS Explorer 435
Getting there	Start at the parking area at the end of the road to Badrallach (055 918). The nearest public transport is to the other end of the road, about 11km away (Traveline Scotland 0871 200 22 33, www.travelinescotland.com).
Something else	Visit the remote village of Scoraig and consider staying a few days to get away from it all, accommodation details at www.scoraig.com.

      Occupying a unique location on a remote peninsula, Beinn Ghobhlach offers the opportunity to really get away from it all. This wild and rugged walk with sea views also holds the possibility of eagles soaring overhead.

      Beinn Ghobhlach easily qualifies as one of Scotland’s best small mountains because of its unique location. With Loch Broom to the north and Little Loch Broom to the south, Beinn Ghobhlach’s slopes descend to meet the sea on both sides of the remote Scoraig peninsula. In its isolated position, without any paths, it is a great place to escape to. Rich in wildlife and with great views over the Summer Isles and the pinnacles of the mighty peak of An Teallach, it is well worth visiting.
