A route to and from Carnaween from parking in front of an abandoned farmhouse at G882 873, north of Disert Graveyard. Brutal day - non-stop rain and a good deal of wind - not however, as much wind as further south, where tropical storm Barney was ripping across the country.

There are 2 crosses on the summit. One on top of a cairn which is the actual summit; another on top of a plinth which contains a door, almost tabernacle-like, behind which slightly elevated on an iron grid to keep it above the damp, is a visitors book. On another day, I would have sat quite happily and leafed through this, but today only allowed a quick scribble of my own before I had to pack it away before it blew off the hill in a sodden mass.
