This should have been part of the hike after doing South Barrule. However, the rain clouds were threatening, so we decided to drive to the bottom of Cronk ny Arrey Laa and just do a straight up and down to bag the trig point. Total distance: 1.2 milesmanilena28/03/2022

9.7 mile circular from parking place on A36, we followed green lane into Surby then across cut path to Bradda, from here we climbed up to Milner's Tower, which is open to climb up the spiral staircase inside to top. From here we followed the coastal path over Bradda Hill then descended steeply to Fleshwick Bay, then we climbed up very steeply onto Lhiattee Ny Beinnee along ridge to summit cairn then back down to car. After lunch we climbed up onto Cronk Ny Arrey Laa then back down to car. Great views on this full cloud day from Scotland to Wales, from Northern Ireland/Ireland to England.

Fine coastal hill from parking to S. I kept to the crest over the first rise but then had to follow the coastal path which is away from the steep ground. Returned by coastal path all the way. Continuing S, this hill looks great from Lhiattee ny Beinnee as you can see the sea cliffs at the foot of the great, steep grassy W side.
