Trip notes
From the club member's GPS log of the trip (28 September 2002), lightly edited, with people's names removed. Conditions may have changed since.
Party of 7. The trip started via private access on Swyncombe Farm. We walked up to a campsite, then climbed the peak after pitching the tents, and just made it back to camp before dark. The last section between the low and high peaks is a bit tricky, and most turned back there. A bit windy on top, but not as bad as forecast.
