Parked at the water reservoir entrance which has space for.a few cars. Easy walk up the track to Fibla Fiold. From there it’s a bit of a marshy slog to the trig pillar at Mid Tooin this time of year but beautiful nonetheless. The whole walk up and back down is very scenic with views over Rendall, Gairsay, Rousay, Wyre and Egilsay. From the top you see over to Evie too. Well worth the hike!

Drove up to Fibla Fiold mast. Flat walk across boggy grass / peat hag moorland from there. Pillar sits just off the hag that's deemed to be the high point of the hill. It's lost it's metal centre cap, having a composite disc replcement; RHS sight hole open. Hazy views.

A moorland walk in the rain with Jim Bloomer and Tricky Speirs. We saw a pair of Red Throated Divers on a small lochan.

Bit of a disappointing summit but still good to be out on the hills anyway today.

vgc, brown resin plug, boggy poooly summit. Presumably the summit peat hag was judged too unstable. Feeling lazy I tried my luck driving the bumpy track, but still a 900m bog trot.
