We parked on the A920 outside the church. A short walk along the road and then up into/past the farm. Followed the sign for Tillymorgan.


We followed the track through the fields and over a couple of gates and into forest. When the proper track turned right we took the one ahead.

This went past fencing. When the fencing turned right we followed this track and after a short while we went through woods and to the slate quarry.

Continuing on just over the heather we climbed the fence and went on to the trig point.

Coming down we followed the fence until we came to the point that we had turned right and climbed the fence again to get to that point.

Thanks Rodmiester. It was a nice, close by hill to do late afternoon. Lovely little woods - a bit easier than the forest you clambered through at the weekend!
