CORVID-19 is still here and you are asked to be safe whilst out in the North West of Scotland. Current restrictions have been relaxed recently. Even so, please do not go out in the area if you are showing signs of Corvid-19. When out paddling or hillwalking make sure you give people space - 1m at least and preferable 2m. Remember that if it feels too crowded then you can walk away and try somewhere else; the environment will still be there tomorrow. Also remember the emergency services, the RNLI and the MRT. They will come out to rescue you but they should not have to put themselves into danger from this virus.

Take Care Out There.

Beinn an Eoin is one of the most difficult hills to climb. The obvious and shortest route from the road to the north east is barred by forest and water; to the west is a some very remote land. The route here climbs from the south east and peculiarly climbs over a ridge higher than the hills iteslf; twice. There are no paths here it is wild and rough walking. However, the views especially of Ben mor Coigach are spectacular, as are the views out to sea.

Parking is at the end of the short minor road just short of the bridge.

From the parking follow the track. make to the low point on the Ben Mor Coigach ridge, then down and over to the hill itself.(7kms. 850m. 3hrs. 50min.)
