Approach from minor road to SW. GR8 views of Knockdolian & Ailsa Craig on way across...both looking strangely similar on sunny Sunday but never lazy afternoon. No flush bracket.

Cap intact. Easy approach from cattle grid at high point to ESE, mostly decent turf after initial boggy patch. Good views back to Knockdolian and to Grey Hill.

I was visiting friends in Lendal Lodge and climbed up to the trig but didn't bother noting the FB number in those days
