We parked the car at a little pull-in at grid ref SN784752 There`s not much to say about about this walk, other than it`s a straight forward walk up a clear track all the way up to the summit and trig point. As we followed the track up towards the summit the views started to open up,but as we neared the summit the weather closed in to hide the views. Now just retrace your steps back to the start point.
