From the Wildlife car park on left of single track road overlooking Kylerhea, the route up Beinn Bhuidhe is pathless and tussocky but becomes easier after passing initial stone outcrop. The second of two cairns marks 488m summit. Continue onwards 500m and up 50m then rising traverse right to Bealach nam Mulachag 578m with further views of Kyle and Skye Bridge. The path rises up Beinn na Caillich initially to left, at right side of scree, traverses right above rock outcrops then up midline of ridge to summit cairn 732m. Descent by same route back to bealach and up by grassy left gully to trig point Sgurr na Coinnich 739m. Descent SW then SSW down easy grassy slopes initially then on left of stream steeply between and around stone outcrops towards mast at Bealach Udal whence a path goes most of the way up Beinn Bheag before cutting left to the col between it and Ben Aslak 909m (demoted from 910m Graham; my GPS made both W and E cairns 1990 feet, the other 2 being 1980 and 1975 feet). Descent E down easy grassy ridge until last 100m becoming steep then tussocky with bracken and brambles near the sheep folds at red iron roofed hut from where a path crosses left over open field to a footbridge and by track and road back to car. A few small roe deer were spotted down by the croft road and ptarmigan on Ben Aslak

Apologies photos are in reverse order - I forgot to upload them in reverse order so they would be in right sequence :(

I'm glad these hills are getting more publicity, they are an amazing trio and much neglected, being at the forgotten end of Skye...

I celebrated my 25th Graham on Aslak, two months later it got demoted and I was down to 24 :lol: :lol: :lol:
