Standing stones in the mist
by pn_runner  27 Dec 2010
I parked at the forest entrance S963 677 starD just north of where the WW enters the forest. The tracks marked on the OSI68 sheet indicate something on the ground either road or firebreak. I picked my way to junction at S949 682 starE before climbing up through the new plantation and heather to the top. The mist was down so saw nothing apart from the interesting cairns at the top.
