For years I've been trying to remember the name of this place! I last went up there 24 years ago after a long walk with the rambling club.

Need to go back there with the kids :)

i love the whangie , my son and i went up there last month in the snow , brilliant, although we didn`t actually make it through the whangie this time, got a bit lost in the snow, it was my third walk there as well, and ended up at the top of the hill while trying to find it. Makes you think how easy it is to get lost on a proper mountain in the snow. will need to upload pics of this soon
