Steep but quick mount, fantastic view!

The website said the chairlift would be closed for winter, but it was running when we got there so we took it to the top, did the walk around the circuit and walked back down. It is pretty steep!

Stunning scenery. Well worth the 10 minutes to the top

Fantastic walk. The nut is quite impressive with a number of lookouts. It was quite windy at the top.

Great little walk which gives you a lovely view of circular head.
