Relatively easy bag from the south
Short Summary created by Colin Murphy  30 Mar 2022
From the south, there is parking for one or two cars at W124 77. Follow the wide track up and past some forestry for about 700m, until you come to farmland. If there is a farmer about ask permission to proceed up the grassy, gently rising slope. A couple of faint tracks assist in the ascent. The ground becomes a bit rougher - marshy, heather - around W124 786 starA, but is still easily navigable. The summit is marked by a substantial cairn, although you will have to clamber over a barbed wire fence to reach it. There are fine views of the Paps to the north.
