View Down to Track Climbing up the flank of Tamanaisval this view opened up as the mist cleared. We had walked in on this wide track for 3 hours from the north. The view shows the path continuing to go further south into the wilderness.

View North From Highpoint Of Track This gravel track travels south to provide access to the sea loch Cheann Chuisil and the dwelling at Tamanabhagh. At this point I had walked in from the minor road near Uig Sands for nearly 3 hours into a gusty wind to climb the four hills to the east of this track.

Loch Braighe Griomabhal Behind Griomabhal can be seen the hills of North Harris. This photo was taken while stalking hinds in january but I doubt if the loch holds a reasonable head of trout in view of the rather difficult conditions and the almost total lack of feeding. Care must also be taken on these hills as they are difficult, especially in winter, and you will not meet anyone else nor will you get a cell phone signal.

The road down to Loch Cheann Chuisil The standard access roads on the island of Lewis are graded gravel. Though they may appear straight on an OS map, local rocky outcrops mean that they meander for short distances. The road can be seen descending down to the loch, and continuing around the bay to the left.

Abhainn Cheann Chuisil stream The rocky curve is the stream running down from the mountains on the island of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides. The surrounding vegetation is soft peat and bog amongst the rocks. In the distance the hills can be seen to be misty due to rainfall.
