| Started from 024707 and went through the gate to the open pasture/ ridge. Hang gliders were here, and farmers just enjoying the view- their sheepdog tried to round Pete and me up. Enjoyable walk up on a sunny afternoon. We used the forest track down but didn't like the look of it when it got gloomy and very wet so reverted to the sunny pasture to finish. | pwheeler | 05/05/2018 |
