Not sure I'd agreed with Mattbheinn2901 log 'easy going'. Car park it's usual madness with camper vans getting stuck as no turning circle. Headed up farm track and followed fence line past waterfall and then crossed it and made a beeline to the trig point. Very wet and sadly not much of a view. I am sure on a good day this is a stunning spot. 9 years married today.

From the carpark at coral beach. Beach has become massive hotspot for tourists in the last year so would avoid at high season. Escape the crowds up old farm track onto Moors. Easy going up to summit. Nice hill!

Visited from the busy Coral Beach car parking area , followed the track past the "Souterrain" before ascending the hill along side the fence finally across the peaty moorland to the Trig ,which shows damage to both bottom corners of its FB face , with an original cap and one open sight hole - an excellent viewpoint

A bit crumbly at base/FB level. Metal cap, wide rasied letters. Fine view. Straightforward ascent via track from car park to W, although gate barbed-wired.

This trig is about a mile north of the summit of Beinn Bhreac - but almost at the same height.
