	The upper ridge - view to the summit from the south top.
	View down to Mull , Lismore and the Firth of Lorne.
Overlooking the Corran Ferry, this must have been an imprtant watch point for keeping an eye on ship traffic in days gone by. We went up from the pass through to Loch Lunn da Bhra and this proved to be a very steep ascent on the sort of moss that does not stay attatched to the hill. Its better to head further north and use the corregated rakes that cross the slope. Beinn na Gucaig is made of slate and this gives some good going - in the upper reaches only. Lower down , especially on the south ridghe its a different story. Forget gentle downhill strolls looking into the sunset, this is seriously rough country, Jura rough. A quadbike track helps - a little. There is little grazing because of the forest, and the old trees are making a comeback in places, but the tussocks and bogs are unbelievable.
