Extreme Beach Cleaning

Greenstone Point 1

See OS Landranger nos 19
 
Once at the end of Opinan there is a path that follows the coast round towards Greenstone Point, this will take about 1hr 30 mins to get to the Point, I tend not to take this route but keep to the higher ground in a straight line (sort of), it takes me 1hr.
 
In Laide take the road round the back of the shop/Post Office, stay on that road until Mellon Udrigal and turn left at the bottom of the hill to Opinan, park to one side in the gravel quarry and walk to the end of the tarred road, turn left at the turning place and head for the small cairn at the top of the hill, keep heading for the higher ridges in the distance, this is over heathery moorland with no path. Hopefully you will be looking down on Loch an Dun Chairn, I tend to go round the side nearest the sea (North ) and keep to the higher ground eventually heading for the large boulders on the skyline, once in that area you can head towards the sea, the 1st container is in a small cove although there's a gravel beach closeby, there's a bucket type thing at the container to put plastic in. To get to the other 3 containers further round follow the coast round south to the burn coming out of one of the lochs the burn can be crossed on the stoney beach.
 
On the return walk I go round the seaward side (North) of Loch an Dun Chairn, you can follow the faint quad tracks part of the way but head left for the higher ground eventually.
