That's hardly fair - I think we'd all look like that on a dreish and cold and miserable day...

I actually did these the day after you, last Monday, and got some sunburn across my face... amazing the difference a day makes. I gotta say, while the hills themselves are relatively boring the air clarity was great that day and the views from the plateau and the two summits were superb. I look forward to going back to these on a clear, sunny wintry day with plenty of snow about.
