We were keen to get back into bagging after lockdown and the weather at the end of August and early September was exceptional. It had been very dry so a good time to do this route which is supposed to be very boggy
Our first obstacle though was the clegs

The next obstacle was they had just put up a brand new deer fence right across the mountain
We searched for a ladder, but found none, they probably hadn’t got round to it
So it was a bit of climbing

All fairly straightforward in the great weather

We stopped for lunch a bit below the large boulder.
We were tiring a bit as we started our next ascent, not hill fit after lockdown

We found the descent hard work and even with gps hard to keep to a path

Two weary souls finally trudged back to the car, but brilliant weather for this route
