| 8th tump of the day. Parked up in layby near footpath to the NE of summit. Followed ROW then headed up to reach ridge to follow fenceline to Trig pillar. Exploring both sides of fence. Lovely view to pine trees West of Moel Accre. Continued to summit of Moel Accre and then headed down to reach footpath but way barred by herd of cows so I profiled round and then climbed over fence to get round them and headed out on track to road and followed road back to the start. | Dazingdale | 27/04/2024 |
