| From Peninnis Head, made way back into town & after passing the Town Hall turned left into Garrison Lane - Followed Garrison Lene to its end & then S. along good tracks before turning right into the campsite - Headed across short grass to the approximate spot height location (SV 89805 10215) which looked good enough to me; banking around campsite is higher, but man-made. | gerrybowes | 04/09/2023 |
