Round of the Hightown Tumps from HightownColin Crawford12/12/2017
Solo. Parked at start of track at NY041850. Along track SW and up pasture to summit of Pinnacle Hill. On to trig point at summit of Hightown Hill through a gate and over two walls. OS 1:25,000 map has name Tomshield near the trig point so it looks as though Tomshield is the name of the top and Hightown Hill the name of the wider hill. Continued to White Hill. Good views from top. Weather dry and bright, but rather cold.pwbellarby12/11/2017
