Well done. It's a great hill and one I won't hesitate to climb up again.

One of my favourite hills this. Walked it last year in glorious sunshine. I parked at the carpark just left of Kilmahog so a fairly lenghty walk in before we reached the stile you have pictured but takes nothing away from this hill. Good Report
