First walk in about 10 months, and 3rd in about 22 months ....
So ... this was tough. Clearly not being doing enough cardio at the gym. Legs were sore going up, but good coming down.
Motorway paths up the hill. A bit boggy at the start (and end) but otherwise good paths. No view whatsoever at the top as we chose the only hill in sight to have a perpetual cloud hanging over the top of it. All. Day. And boy was it windy at the huge summit cairn. Just time to duck into one of the side carins for a quick half snadwich and cup of soup before heading back down. And none too soon, as the last 5 minutes or so were spent in a torrential downpour!! Flooding on the way home was interesting!
Drive was about 1 hour on good roads
