Hiking

There is a lot of wreckage scattered across this mountains. The wings can be seen on the north side of the hill, and there are large blocks on the top. The wheel is the hardest to spot, lying on the south west flanks.

Hiking

The remains of an RAF Canberra, which crashed 22 November 1956, are scattered across the mountain. The cause of the accident was not determined. Sadly both the pilot, A.A. Redman, and navigator, A.A. Mansell, did not survive the accident.
