Head left behind the farmhouse, there is a sign. The path winds up a track then onto grass

Reflection


The track gets lost and there is little point having much of a strategy, just head forward. I felt I was stuck about 600m for quite a while and it took a wee bit of effort to reach the actual base of the proper climb.

Keep picking away at it and again no real path up to the summit you will pick up bits but just pick the best line you can see

I was only doing the one today so retraced my steps back down. The visibility was excellent so it would have been hard to go wrong but if it was low cloud it could be easy to veer if the wrong way.
