A nice climb to a large activation area, but with no shelter, worth 8 points
I parked in Layby 88 on the A9 Southbound and walked along to the pedestrian gate and along a well made stony path.
The first half of the walk is on good stony track and provides almost all of the elevation gain, so the hard work is done early before the legs start complaining!
The second half is a fairly flat, on grass with the occasional boggy patch.
The summit is large and flat, offering no shelter but it did have a handy metal post that I used to hold my Sotapole. In the picture below the small summit Cairn is on the left.
This summit is evidently popular with hikers and I saw at least 8s while I was on the summit. 2 people came over and asked what I was doing, and seemed interested and even impressed!
