If two cars can do walk from Knoc-cuien, start at thatched cottage and follow path across moorland heading for ridge of Eaval  at 898595,

then head north to summit, false cairn first, then summit.

On a good day fantastic views.

Can return by steepish descent to the eastern end of Loch Obisary. Short detour to see cave at 917614.

Then back round shore of Loch Obisary , follow path to finish at Sidinish. About 6 hours.

If one car best approach from Sidinish.

Check tides before doing this. If you have a tent and tides are right you can camp on the island. Beautiful beaches on the north side of the island. Can start from the cottage, will have to cross a few fords but none more than about 18 inches deep. Head for Erskine Beveridges house, now a ruin and unsafe to enter.

This year (2004) large pilot whale dead among rocks just at Camas Mor.

Can walk from cottage or park car at foot of road to machair. Possible to cycle most of this but depends on tide, best if out and weather (not too windy). Head for 796759 either along track or beach, then along Traigh Iar, three miles of unspoilt silver sands with usually no-one on it.

Can walk to end and come back either along tracks or retrace steps. Can cut up to Co-op.

This is a great walk, possibly may see otters and seals. Park at Grenitote near beach. It is possible to cycle along a large part of this walk.

Head around point, there are definitely otters here., follow the bays on the west back.

Roundhouse at Udal has been excavated and is worth seeing. Cut back to Traigh Ear and back to starting point.

Although only Beinn Mhor exceeds 2,000ft , this walk which includes Ben Corodale and Hecla, the second and third highest hills on the island, requires a certain degree of fitness. Begin on the A865 at the first passing place south of the bridge over

the Abhainn Roag. Follow a Land Rover track up onto the moor, then

make for the shoulder of Maola Breac .. Continue up the shoulder of Beinn Mhor

to reach the north-west top at the rim of Glen Hellisdale. An attractive, narrow half mile ridge leads to the main summit. To the west is the Atlantic and you may see the weather sweeping in , to the east are Skye,the Inner Hebrides and the mainland.    Below is  Corodale Bay, where the young pretender, Bonnie Prince

Charlie hid from the Redcoats  before  Flora Macdonald, who was born on South Uist, helped him escape. The 'Prince's Cave' is marked on the OS map.

Return along the ridge to the north-west top. Then  descend eastwards from Beinn Mhor's northern shoulder to the Bealach Hellisdale and then head up the  steep slope to the rocky summit of Ben Corodale avoiding the crags.

Head north over the top, avoiding the crags, then a long descent and then another steep ascent up the south face of Hecla.  Head down the west ridge and back across the moor to the road.
