Beinn nam Ban

From the parking area head in a south easterly direction picking the easiest line up broken hillside and rocky ground towards the summit of the hill. The west face of the hill is very steep and craggy and so care should be taken when choosing a place from which to launch.

At 580m above sea level, Beinn nam Ban, is not especially dramatic, nor is this a site that is flown particularly frequently, but it does offer a very handy alternative to the bigger hills in the surrounding area.

Beinn nam Ban will take a westerly or north westerly breeze and in the spring and summer months is often influenced by a sea breeze being funnelled up Little Loch Broom.

Although under normal conditions the XC potential from Badrallach is limited by its location, sandwiched between the mountains of Dundonnell to the south and Loch Broom which curves round to the north and east, this site can offer good soaring and it does have the benefit of being very close to the road.

Takeoff altitude: 509m
