Clisham (An Cliseam) horseshoe
Summary
The long approach to Clisham (An Cliseam in Gaelic and on OS maps) over the dramatic and rugged ridges of Mulla-Fo-Thuath and Mulla-Fo-Dheas is a Hebridean classic, with views to match. The route makes a full days' hillwalking but is much more demanding than the standard direct route up Clisham from the A859.
Terrain
Rough and rocky ridges, with very boggy approach and return. Some bouldery sections and one exposed descent requiring great care.
Public Transport
Bus between Tarbert and Stornoway.
Start
500m east of the bridge over the Abhainn Scaladail on the A859.
