Hill Of Two Sides.
by sandman 21 Sep 2015
On one side we have a sheer rock face on the other heather and grass but when you do reach the summit at A (M12715 99613) you are rewarded with some nice views.I parked at B (M13051 98866) accessed the hill thru a farm gate crossing a double fence which is the shortest route to the ridge allowing an easier walk to the summit marker.
