The wet summit.

Scotland's southernmost hill, and like all coastal hills a good viewpoint. The weather was foul, but I got a good view over the Urr estuary and a glimpse of St Bees Head in Cumberland. The Lakes were blotted out. The hill is well defended by electric fences and forestry. The traditional ascent from near the Bengairn Loch is recommended. It feels a lot higher than 391m. It looks bigger inb views as well, and often causes confusion when seen from the Lakes or other Galloway Hills. You dont expect such a sharp peak' there'. |
