So nice after days of heavy rain to see the hills clearer.
The route was simple, at the car park there is a house opposite the entrance with a road/track. Walkers/cyclists/runners are welcome, simply follow the path - discreet markers, very simples.
The path that way is cyclable, but a bit of narrow track/pushing in places further up. The road/land rover track on the other side of the river is in great condition and cyclable all the way to summit should that be your thing.
I would not be too hung up on "the long walk in", its really no hardship at all and its not that long. Its flat and beautiful and lovely for walking/running.
Warning
Please note that hillwalking when there is snow lying requires an ice-axe, crampons and the knowledge, experience and skill to use them correctly. Summer routes may not be viable or appropriate in winter. See winter information on our skills and safety pages for more information.
