A quick and efficient hike! It’s impossible to get lost – the path is very well signposted. There are a few sections where you need to use your hands to climb, and that’s great fun! A stunning view from the top – thanks!

A brilliant walk – personally, I prefer to head down via the brown trail (a really beautiful ridge) and perhaps go up via the blue one (weathered and slippery in places)
