Standard route
A short, accessible walk across machair grassland and rocky coastline to the 384m summit. The low altitude and gentle gradients make this achievable in 1-3 hours.

Island terrain varying from machair grassland to rocky hillside. Sea salt exposure affects the vegetation. Wind is a constant companion.
In winter
Island winters are mild but stormy. Snow is rare at low levels. The main winter challenge is short daylight and frequent gales.
