We followed the WalkHighand route up to the summit and returned the same way, this was my first hill three weeks after surgery for a cochlear implant. It's a gentle but unrelenting rise that would make good snowshoeing site. None of the game bird activities we had seen on a previous visit to the area 4 or 5 years ago, when with 4 working cockers longing to hunt we decided to retreat :lol: :lol: :lol: .

A lovely gently re-entry to the hills.
