View of Combs from Stone Shelter

Highlight • Viewpoint

May be wet underfoot! Boggy path but easy to follow.

Stone Shelter Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Not an easy ride up in any way, extremely steep fire road paved with large chunks of stone. you can ride about 70% of the way up there but there is some aspect of hike a bike. Well worth it for the views back down the valley. I made the mistake of not turning back, and ended up carrying my bike for a few miles through moorland and then down a steep edge to river. Again all worth it for the views, not in any way easy though!
