No cairn, grassy obvious summit under dark starry skies. last of a 9 tump circuit from Glasdestry. as corona virus restrictions tighten, will this be my last hill for some time?Denise 22/03/2020
In darkness. From the SW initially on animal track over rough grass and gorse then steeply up through dead bracken to grassy shoulder and distinct grassy high point grazed by sheep. Clear star filled skies.RichardM22/03/2020
Parked in tight verge space at disused quarry gate. Along bridleway until the gorse & bracken was a little less dense ( where fence line turns N ) then steep climb up, just as it was getting dark.DanMaisieBex28/10/2019
