A lovely quick up and down form Hosister pass. Previously we have been up Brandereth directly from Honister so this time we thought we would ascend the hillside opposite. A very warm day for mid September. The route is easy, the path follows the fence up the hillside then continues in the same direction after the fence comes to a halt. It was good to see the Honister slate mine so busy and we soon lost the noise from it as we ascended.
A long lunch on top in the sun with welcoming soft breeze and great views across to the high hills to the south , albeit slightly hazy and down the Newlands valley to the north. I suggest a stroll along to Hindscarth but was overruled as our time schedule would not allow it.
