Posted: Fri Nov 20, 2015 12:12 amFirst walk report for WH, so I thought I would start with something simple. I decided to try a slightly different route to those already posted, the 1: 25000 OS map suggested there was a track through the trees that started just to the north of the usual parking area. The weather didn't look promising but I managed to get parked easily and the gate was unlocked.
Not far along the track I came to a junction, I stayed left and headed uphill and spotted the gate that lead onto the open hillside.
Through the gate (thankfully, it was unlocked too) and along a grassier track to a large gap in the wall.
From here I just followed the wall uphill and along to the summit. The heather wasn't too deep so it wasn't a major slog.
Despite the cloud there were some good views, summit of Mount Blair was hidden in cloud though. The weather looked like it was going to get worse so I headed back down the way I climbed up.
Definitely an enjoyable short walk, I think I will return on a nice summer evening....
