Faw Mount, Mount Maw, The Mount, East Cairn Hill, West Cairn Hill, Byrehope Mount

Up to top of East Cairn (the cairn) in 2 hours 20. Remaining 2 hours 40 to get back - pace slowed a bit as pain took over!! Final slog up Byrehop was quite depressing. Seemed to go on and on and on ... But on the birght side the top was very near the car.

Quite soggy under foot but generally fairly good ground.
