This is the fourth summit on this challenging 9 mile circular walk, and part of a dramatic ridgeway section that is one of the highlights of the walk. – both literally and figuratively.

An cairn between the two summits adds some interest. | Pentax K SMC 28mm f3.5 @ f8.

The summit is marked by a small pile of stones and their is a nice cairn on the approach. Views, on a clear day, would be great. However, for us it started to close in at this point so the views were limited. It would be a good ridgeway to revisit, perhaps walking it from the North and heading South down to the highest point.

A good mountain to tick off and I’d recommend this ridgeway to anyone.

Very stony, wouldn’t want to try pitching a tent here! | Pentax K SMC 28mm f3.5 @ f8.
