I have a choice of White Horse Hill at 844 ft or Bald Hill at 842 ft, current and previous county tops. Both involve driving more than five miles, so not in guidance range strictly. Locally my residence is at 443 ft, the highest point in walking distance is 485 ft and the lowest 246 ft, so opportunities for scaling heights are a bit limited. However, the field tracks are of energy sapping mud, so my calves get a good workout.
Hi CharlesT
Darrach hill had a start point of about 600 ft so it wouldn't have been much of a climb.
Most of the field tracks around here are pretty much still frozen, like walking on concrete.
Anyway, Nicola has just shut Scotland down so even this hill will be a no go now.
Lucky we have a small hill in our local park to exercise on.
Regards.

Darrach Hill is still within your reach as was published today.
