An easy short walk on a nice grassy hill. Parked by a cattle grid near various parked or abandoned vehicles just below the summit of the minor road from Vidlin to Lunning. Step over 3 fences on the way, then enjoy the views from the fine cairn.Gill26/08/2018

solo from road at High point to NW at GR491658. Passed two burned out cars (strangely surreal), miserably damp now. Quick there and back to stone cairn in 10 mins. Good view through mist to Whalsay and Noss.nordicstar03/06/2013
Bagged with Tricky, parked near two burned out cars and a trailer before a quick ascent of this HuMP after a morning on Whalsay.Dugswell201/06/2013
