Itinerary description

Excellent route, great views, no problems. Head out of the village going north on the marked path. When you join the main road walk along it until the first bend. Turn left by the house and climb up by various goat paths to join a track. (You could also use this track all the way from the road, but extra distance). Turn left up the track and follow it through various zig zags until it fades out. Climb up to join the ridge and continue to first summit. Great views. Follow the ridge south past 2 more summits. To do the last summit there is a sloping easy rake to the left/east. Probably best to reverse this back unless you want a steepish scramble down. After the last summit descend to the south to join a track by the fenced enclosure. Various fences and gates to climb over or around without difficulty. See waypoints. It would also be possible to descend to the left after the last summit earlier than we did, rougher walking but would avoid 2 fences/gates and be a bit shorter. You would then join the same track lower down. Follow the track back to the village.
