This hill looks like a boring pancake from a distance, but it turns out to make a very enjoyable and wonderful walk. From Sclaten, on short dry grass studded with flowers, amongst little outcrops of beautiful orange rock. The summit gives wonderful views over the cliffs, and is formed from an ancient cairn. NOTE: once you've paid for the ferry to Yell, the onward ferries to Unst or Fetlar are free of charge if you travel the same day.	Gill	21/08/2018
From end of minor road (HP 6480 1295). Direct to top, over stock fencing x3.	jonglew	21/08/2018
From Clibberwick on a compass bearing in the clagg. saw down the cliffs but not much else.	Eddie	12/03/2017
A really pleasant walk, starting from the parking area in Norwick at HP651145. There are places where it would be wise not to be too close to the cliff edge: there have been recent landslips, and clearly more are to come!	David Purchase	06/06/2016
Hitched form Mid Yell with Lesley & Nick ( picked up by bus driver in his car on return from taking gas workers to the huge gas project on mainalnd who were being accommodated at The Camp). Magnificent cliff top walking in a Shetland heatwave (how lucky were we?),as we walked all around the top NE coast under a blue sky and back over Saxa Vord to collect our hire bikes to cycle back to Mid -Yell in the evening sunshine - with a long wait for ferry crossing ! (before leaving bikes with a local) and getting a another lift for 7 miles back to the bod	Chris Pearson	22/07/2014

Beaut of a hill, w Jenx, Doug and Tricky. Park at GR649120, nr Skeggie! Through track gates to access hill and easy grass slopes to magic trig on cliff edge and view to Norway! Circuit back got Doug's geo-squares. Fine day.	nordicstar	29/05/2013
Parked by Kirkaton cemetery. Followed dramatic coast to summit then beeline return to Millfield. Snow and hail.	Martin R	04/05/2012
Started from the bend of the road at HP 646134. Lots of barbed wire fences to climb this way. Great coastal headland.	Alex C	08/09/2011
