Knoydart: Luinne Bheinn, Meall Buidhe & Ladhar Bheinn
Map 33; 30th April 2004 & 8th June 2007

Route: 3230m = 10600' ascent; 30.0 miles.

Kit: With the size of this walk, a head torch and spare batteries are a necessity at one or both ends of the day.
Route: Be aware that the long walk-in to Barrisdale includes a minimum of about 350m ascent and the same again on the walk out: it's a fairly level path around the coast almost as far as Skiary, but then an unnecessary rise to 40m before the descent to 20m just after Skiary; a rise to 105m, down to 10m, then rise to 115m above Runival; then down to 20m, up to 30m, and down to 10m at Coalas Mor; up to 90m then down to the track beside the shore at Barrisdale Bay.
Wild camping at Barrisdale before and after would decrease the total ascent and distance, and the mountains could then easily be divided into two one day walks if one day were not enough.
There is a choice of route from Barrisdale up to Luinne Bheinn via either Mam Barrisdale or Mam Unndalain. Clearly one can omit some of the Munros if the exertion or weather prove too much.
Some change may be needed for the location below of parking at Kinloch Hourn. From aerial views, the best parking seems to be on the left just passed Lochournhead House, approx NG950066.
There are alternatives to the long walk-in from Kinloch Hourn. One can hire a boat from Arnisdale to Barrisdale and camp there. But the easiest choice is probably to start from Inverie and take two days over the ascents: Luinne Bheinn & Meall Buidhe on one day, and Ladhar Bheinn with its top on the other.
NB: The only road to Kinloch Hourn was blocked by a landslip in November 2018 (see the Mountaineering Scotland website). It appears to have been re-opened in April 2019 (see the comments on the AGU and CoastalWalker websites).
Connectivity: Orange on both tops of Luinne Bheinn, and on Aonach Sgoilte, but weak on Ladhar Bheinn, and very weak on Meall Buidhe. No Orange on Stob a'Choire Odhair or at Kinloch Hourn.
