Black Hill (near Abington)

 30 August 2023

Where: Black Hill, 383m/1,258', P 100m, Hump, OS 71/72, NS 904 243

The weather had changed for the better as autumn approached. I decided on a short walk and drove down towards Abington, taking the old road as I got south and parked up opposite the house at Strand where there was space for a couple of cars. I climbed a gate onto the hillside and followed a track and then sheep trods to the small pile of stones that marked the summit. It was a gentle ascent. Fine open views as I got higher. Tinto dominated the eastern view......


Lots of wind farms, looking towards Crawfordjohn....

Looking south east, the M73 was in view in this direction and I could hear the noise of the traffic......
