2.26 miles 50 mins 162 m ascent
A very short walk and an easy route. I started from the foot of the track to Riddingshill and followed the road up until I was just below the giant aerial. From there I left the road and headed across the grass, through a gate, and to the trig pillar.
The weather wasn’t great but there were good views of the surrounding hills, Criffel, Screel, Bishop Forest Hill and Queensberry.
Aerial on See Morris Hill
As I walked across the grass I felt that it was pre-quagmire, but we have had heavy rain.

I had wondered if I should have taken the eastern side of the Aerial compound, as I did, or the western, keeping to the road. I’m pleased I did because, looking down from the top, the ground was very boggy north of the compound.
