Camasunary to Loch Coruisk

Distance Approximate Time Height Gain OS Map
8 kms 02:00 (hrs:mins) 100 metres Explorer 411: Skye - Cuillin Hills

Description

Although the scenery rewards the amount of effort this walk which traverses above the sea does have it's difficult sections so is not suitable for everyone. A rough path continues above the coast until eventually it reaches the ¿bad step¿ - a steep slab about 8m above the sea, crossed by way of a slanting crack and a narrow ledge. For some people this may be as far as they can go but, for those who continue it is a short walk to the stepping stones that cross the outflow from Loch Coruisk.
Both this and the crossing of the river by the bothy at Camasunary can be difficult if water levels are high (at Camasunary a long detour upstream can be required)

Access Info

There is no access to Camasunary except on foot so this route should be seen as an extension to the route Elgol to Camasunary or it can be reached by a shorter but less interesting walk in from the road at Kirkibost

Additional Info

Bella Jane boat trips from Elgol sail to Coruisk so it is possible to use a boat one way between Elgol and Coruisk. The trips ar popular so remember to book particularly if you walk out and expect to take the boat back.
