Distance: 6 Km 
Grid: NN77303090 (Ben Chonzie - Ben-y-Hone)
Companions: Dougie
Weather: Cloudy and mist/hill fog from about 700m.

Boring route, all in all.

From the car park we followed the path to almost the top (of the path). A small cairn signalled us to head North East follwoing a smaller path. This lead us, in the mist, to the fence line which we followed to a sharp right turn and then further on to the summit.

The terrain seemed like that of just a high field – grassy, flat on the summit plateau – not at all like a munro.

The summit cairn was a big horseshoe shaped stone affair that allowed us to get right out of the wind.

A very short day – two hours in ascent followed by just over an hour to descend.
