The plan was to climb the Tump, Cruach Peanmeanach, located at the south end of the Ardnish Peninsula, south-east of Arisaig. The start of the walk was the large lay-by on the west side of the A830 south of Polnish. Here a signed path went round the top of a quarry then descended through a quagmire to the bridge over the West Highland Railway Line. A sleeper then aided the crossing of the outflow from Loch Dubh before more wet ground was encountered. A short uphill section followed before descending to the crossing of the stream flowing out of Loch Camas an Raoigh.
It was then a steady climb on this rough path before the gradient eased. The path passed below Cruach an Fhearainn Duibh and descended to the north-west of Loch Doir a’ Ghearrain then went through some trees.

A flat wet area of long grass led to the ruins at Peanmeanach where the path came to an end. A couple were staying in the bothy there. It was a short walk to the foot of Cruach Peanmeanach and an easy enough climb to the summit where some grand views were had.
