This is a pretty difficult hike because there is no path to follow. there is nowhere to park to get to the hike, which goes through a private sheep meadow with no way to know how much we are allowed on this land. When you get there, it is infinite walking through waist-high grass on boggy ground, trying to see the path (there is nowhere path) or the water that you are trying to follow, all the while trying not to get your socks completely wet or falling on a hole on the ground because your feet are nowhere to be seen. After loosing the “path” for the 5th time and our socks starting to get wet despite the waterproof shoes, we gave up about halfway up the ascent. Took us probably a couple of hours to get that far, so I would expect a pretty long hike unless maybe the meadow gets cut down sometime ? We were there in late August 2026 and don’t really recommend this hike. The views were good enough, obviously we did not get to the top though.
