Pity the Donkey.
by sandman  10 Apr 2017
From a bygone era the remains of a track exists up to the summit and beyond, so i pity the poor donkey who had to pull the cart up this hill but if he did get a breather at the summit he would have been rewarded with good views. Today take the tarred road at C5194153449 starA up to its end now pass thru the gate and parking is available at C5082153137 starB ,there are no issues with access, now choose your own way up to the top or follow in the donkey's footsteps.
