Fairly straightforward ascent of ordinary hill.
Short Summary created by Colin Murphy  18 Aug 2023
One approach is from the south west. There is parking for 1/2 cars at the start of the Bridal Path at B97056 15828 starA. Walk east along road for about 150m and then head directly up the hill to the NW. It is boggy initially, but this eases as you ascent across short grass/heather. At about B98364 16485 starB the gradient all but disappears and you will encounter several large peat hag areas, although they don't present too much of an obstacle. The summit is marked by a cairn.
