Hill: Cardon Hill: Chapelgill Hill; Culter Fell
Type: Graham & Donald
I had volunteered to lead a walk for the group and these hills are excellent for a group. There are previous posts so mainly just pictures and stats. More people snaps are on the ADRC webpage.
The only change to previous trips was the addition of the Donald top, Cardon Hill which I had not been on before. It is an outlier of Chapelgill Hill. A gentle spur which only added less than 30 minutes to the trip.
Sadly solo car travelling limited the numbers allowed to go in the trip but those that attended were all good company and enjoyed a nice day and a good horseshoe circuit with fabulous views.
