Sli Cholmcille
Walked SW for about 50m to access Sli Cholmcille. Followed this trail but lost it early on – be careful not to take the stony track to the right after you go past gate.
View to the NE
Views improve greatly with height. I eventually relocated Sli Cholmcille and continued up to where a stile crossed a fence.
Stile just where track begins to descend.
Crossed this, leaving the trail and headed directly south up the gently rising slope – mostly grass, short heather and large areas of scree, but easy terrain generally.
Summit cairn
Summit is marked by a substantial cairn next to a fence. Fine views in all directions.
