While on way from South Ronaldsay to the Italian Chapel. | Fionalevey | 09/08/2023 |
Close to road. | vegibagger | 10/09/2022 |
Revisit today for better photos. Then back to revisit the Italian Chapel. | Dugswell2 | 17/08/2022 |
Entry gate opposite SW end of lay by. | jimbloomer | 12/08/2022 |
Lay-by at summit. Grass in field over gate is noticeably higher. Solo. | Dangerous Dave | 01/08/2022 |
Parked in convenient track entrance at road col( also lay by). Noted that Lidar puts summit on road but we also explored the domed grass field to SE of road, which felt marginally higher and Abney assessment seemed to confirm ??? Nice view point; pity about the traffic, but easy bag. | Denise | 29/07/2022 |
Very convenient layby. Grass in field looked higher. | Minto | 29/07/2022 |
I agree with others that the HP is in the field, so a drive over doesn't quite cut it. You need to leave the car, however briefly. | Colin Crawford | 27/07/2022 |
Got out the car for a very easy bag. | David Bremner | 19/05/2022 |
Easiest one ever! I did stop the car(safely) to go & put my feet on the summit. | Hirta | 08/09/2021 |
