I walked this little hill on my own leaving the wife and kids behind this time due to already having a long day at Landmark Forest Park.
The weather had cleared from earlier in the day allowing for great views over the surrounding area.

Nice report Paulo, that notice board at the start got it right, "a hill with a view" - a great reward for a little un :D
