The weather improved as the afternoon passed and at 3.30pm we parked at the lay-by a 100 yards south of Piccadilly and set off to Great Hill. Although the sun was out there was a very strong and biting wind. We took the path across from Piccadilly and although it was sodden under foot it was passable. The path climbs gradually until nearing Pimm's, sadly in ruins now. There's a short descent to the brook and then the serious climb to the summit begins. Arriving at the top the first thing I noticed was a new, and well constructed cairn marking the top. Well done to whoever built it

I met no-one today and took shelter from the wind for a few minutes before returning by the same route. An ideal walk if time is limited
