The last time my Dad sat in a Morris 8 was nearly 60 years ago, it was his first car. My friend Steve is restoring one and kindly let my Dad have a look at it. Dad was like a little kid again, i got a little emotional watching him have a great time. He hasn't stopped talking about it since.

The other photos have been geo-tagged as on or around the summit. For less busy mountains, it can be a little hit and miss.

1799 Killyleoch Hill
Climbed with Phil Coper and Chris Watson. The ascent is fairly easy with no tree or access problems. The 1:25000 map is useful as it shows the track starting at NX881801, which is not marked on the Landranger map. This track avoids the farms, houses, notices and quarry which may impede other approaches, and there is room to park at the track entrance. Follow the track to NX877811, turn left through a gate, over the burn and through a broad gap in the trees, then follow the western edge of the trees all the way to the summit, which is a large rock a few metres away from the tree line. There are four walls to cross on the way, all of which have reasonable crossing places near the edge of the trees. The first wall has a fence in the corner, after which there is some rough bracken and vegetation but nothing too bad but better when it's dry or in winter.
