Via Hillridge Farm, easy and scenic walking. Heavy cloud over the mountains to the south whilst I experienced sunshine for the first time in twelve days vindicated my decision to climb lower hills today.Wycombe Wanderer28/12/2021
Quick nip up from the W before lunch in Biggar. Parked at track start (NS 9968 3861), but all the dog walkers were parking 350m up the track at forest gate. Good forest road until exiting forest then pleasant cropped pasture till the deet fence. Nipped across to a nicer looking SE Top despite time being tight.jonglew20/12/2021
