Walked from the cafe. Got our free tea on return, and spent lots on the lovely things in there. | PeteN | 31/12/2018 |
Through metal gate just beyond cafe & drove to top of tarmac road; parked next to the smaller of the two green former MOD buildings - Along track to lochan & then short walk to summit. The door of 'The Edge' cafe is always open (honesty box). Well worth a visit! (DB) | gerrybowes | 20/06/2017 |
No access difficulties - there's even free tea & coffee at the 'Free House'. | jimbloomer | 15/06/2016 |
