Churn it up!
Short Summary created by jackill  14 Jan 2012 Go to the forest entrance at S22348 09385 (Point A), there is room here for two cars.
Walk down the forest track, crossing a small stream and take the first turn left.
Leave the track to the right after 200 meters and head across a felled area of trees and onto open mountain.
Walk uphill to the summit of Milk Hill. From Milk Hill descend to the south before a short climb to Bleantasours summit.
Three curious rusting milk churns stand guard nearby.
Point A: S22348 09385 (turn area map On)

by csd  5 Apr 2010 I approached Bleantasour from Milk Hill, which is an easy 20 minute trot. As with Milk Hill, the summit has been burned recently, and (churns aside) is rather unremarkable save the nice views. I also spotted a fox out on a mission at 2.30 pm in the day.
