With Pauline .. Parked Ty Draw Rd SS689950 .. straight up the track to the mast and a wander around the top .. then an explore of the woods and met the Green Man .. cracking views .. this is a really nice hill and surprised its not as popular as it should be on this site .. go up there now before its ruined by the proposed gondola development | milejunkie | 24/11/2023 |
