| We parked in a layby on the main road and walked along a path that veers off to the right and then rejoins the minor road leading up the valley. After a pleasant stroll along that road, which has very limited traffic, we veered right across a field then up along the side of the tongue itself. Eventually we turned left and then left again to walk up the gentle spine to the summit. (see video). We came down the steeper more direct route but even that is not bad and the walk could be made shorter by going up that way. | ||
