Walking
Location : Highland
Starting point : N 57.628189° / W 6.290488° 
Access: By car, take the small road from Brogaig to Uig. After a steep climb up a narrow road which makes 2 hairpin bends, you will come out onto a flat area with a small car park, where you can park.
(D/A) Set out to the northeast from the car park. Follow the path which begins by climbing upwards. Ignore a path off to the left and keep going a short distance until you reach a crossing (this is the return path).
(1) Continue along the path to the right. It levels out along the mountainside at about 300m.
(2) Cross several streams. Some cliffs rise up above the path on the left, which begins to climb again.
(3) Make your way around the Table and the Needle by the right hand side. After going through a lush little green valley, the path, which had flattened out again, begins to climb up steeply to the northwest.
(4) Go over a stile and follow the path along the ridge to the left.
(5) Enjoy the beautiful views of "the Table" from above, which is flat and covered in a meadow of soft, green grass. Continue gently down along the ridge.
(6) Follow the path, which is quite easily visible, through the meadows.
(7) Walk back down to the left along a direct path down the slope, always keeping left.
(1) Come back onto the path you took at the start, turn right, and make your way back to the car park (D/A).

After heavy rains the week befor, the path as described in stages 6 and 7 had been washed out. Conditions were really boggy and slippery to the extend of dangerous at times. This walk is not to be advised in wet conditions.
However, we enjoyed the marvellous views!
