The route up is a steady climb, rarely steep, on a quiet well defined path, which can be a bit wet, muddy and rocky in places. On a clear day there are great views from the summit, so bring a packed lunch for a picnic here. The route down is a wide path which is rocky underfoot and steep in some places. Depending upon ground conditions we may come back down the route up, an extra mile but much less steep. After the walk there are a number of places in Barley for refreshments.
