Nearest thing to Mickle Fell
in Scotland, only I know nobody that has ever seen a red flag
flying here. Obviously some danger areas are more dangerous than
others.
Short route from the south
involves crossing The Carse. The path shown on the map does 95%
of the job, but you will get wet. Once at the lip of the attractive
Coirebeagh defile, the going is easy until the summit bogs are
reached as the angle eases. Other than some randomly placed poles
the summit is unmarked, pick your own tussock. The view is very
fine, as this is the last gasp before the Highlands are reached.
Lawers shows well.
The slopes are littered with
big sandstone boulders, a clue to the name?
