Once you enter the track by the national park sign, there's another tack off to the right, we ignored that and took the next right track after 100m or so. It's a steep climb up to the top of the first peak, but nothing too difficult, just a bit of work for your thighs especially if you are carrying a heavy pack. From the top of the first peak you can see the vague trail that goes pretty much in a straight line to the second peak, down and up a seam of chalky surface rock (limestone?) you can see where walkers have crushed soft stones under foot, but if in doubt just go as straight as possible it's a narrow stretch of rock with steep drop-offs either side. It only takes about 25 mins to get from the first peak to the second, but there is a little bit of scrambling involved. Well worth it for the views |
