I got whizzed by boat in and out of beautiful but inaccessible Knoydart by the Arnisdale boatman (Peter Fletcher tel 01599 235007). Peter’s excellent ad hoc charter boat service (£70 return for up to maybe 6 people) cuts out the standard Kinlochhourn approach trek, making today’s raid possible.
Route: Easy stalkers track up to the Mam Barisdale pass, then a good straight path along a line of old rusting fence posts onto Luinne Bheinns SW flank gaining height steadily. I then turned left off the path up steeper slopes and hereafter the terrain roughened into generally pathless steep grass, with occasional rocky outcrops needing skirting, all the way until back close to sea level. Gained the broad W ridge and followed it to the Luinne Bheinn cairn. Amazing crystal clear 360 degree summit panorama of the other Knoydart peaks, the small isles, Skye Cuillin, Ben Nevis etc. After the E top ..." — davidb • May 27, 2021
"Cairngorm Club meet. With John Hetherington. From Barrisdale Bothy we went to Màm Barrisdale (2 men dropped from a helicopter there). We went a short distance down the path on the other side, then ~south and up a stream to the ridge of Creag Dhearg and hence to Meall Buidhe. We continued over the south east top, Druim Leac a’ Shith, and then via the south east ridge of Luinne Bheinn to the south east top and the main summit. Descended via Bachd Mhic an Tosaich to Màm Barrisdale, where John descended to Barrisdale. I continued to Stob a’ Chearcail, point 848m, Ladhar Bheinn, and Stob a’ Choire Odhar before descending to Barrisdale Bothy. Mist on all the tops except Druim Leac a’ Shith." — peter43 • Jul 11, 1981
