I met a couple of friends in Tarbert on the Isle of Lewis, then we drove north on the A859 Stornoway Road to the bridge over the Abhainn Mharaig where there was parking on the old carriageway and bridge.
In low cloud we set off along a muddy path on the south side of the Abhainn Mharaig before crossing one its tributaries and heading onto then up An Cliseam’s south-east ridge. There was a path which we lost at times then higher up the ridge narrowed before reaching the cairn marking the summit of this Corbett.
Due to the low cloud there was nothing to see so we returned by the upward route although lower down the cloud began to break up and lift so at least it allowed us some views.
