Hiking

This is a very easy to reach top that is quite varied in terms of terrain. The way up can feel quite long, but the views from the top are worth it and the way down affords for great views ahead.

Good sturdy shoes are a good idea as the top is boggy in places. It is well worth adding the second, sligthly lower top.
