Short boat ride across to the island from Vementry House courtesy Hamish Hunter. 3rd of Vementry's 6 hills on an ACW circuit. Probably the most interesting with the WWI coastal battery to explore, including 2 breech-loading guns, magazines etc. All in good condition considering the ravages of time and weather. | jonglew | 03/07/2019 |
Dropped off at the beach to the WSW of Muckle Ward, then onto the two tops of Heill Head then on to the guns and Swarbacks Head before descending SSE to beach for collection. | Dugswell2 | 14/06/2019 |

With St Magnus Bay charters. Summit #6 of the Vementry P30 challenge, from floating pier. Held the record for a week, until Andrew T turned up with a neater route and younger legs! Think it stands about about 90 mins. | RHW | 27/05/2013 |
