Stac Pollaidh (Lumpy Peak)
Height 2011ft (613m). Distance 3.5 miles (5.6km).
Stac Pollaidh pronounced Stack Polly has a well-defined
path going round the eastern flank and rising up to the
summit ridge.
There are about five main Cairns; One on the summit ridge,
two on the eastern peaks and two on the western peaks.
We found it a relatively easy walk to the summit ridge
but we had to take turns Dog sitting while exploring the
other peaks as it involved some rock scrambling.
On the return journey we descended the western flank
from the summit ridge to make it a complete circuit of
the mountain.
The car park is quite small and may be difficult to get
into on a busy day as it is a very popular walk, to conserve
Stac Pollaidh it is important to keep to the paths on
the way up as the scars shown are self evident.
