Anthropomorphism has its place.
It's a starting point, at least.
So, I'll say if i have eyes,
then a mountain has eyes,
and whatever happens after that
is poetry, where i become lost,
and there are no conditions, no consequences.
There's only the mountain,
(Anna Maria Upton)
On its own this is a very easy round trip climb of no more than 45
minutes from the nearest parking point (B). I have indicated a
circular hike on the map above which will take in at least 3
caches. This would be a hike of about 10K with a total ascent of
732m which should take just over 3 hours during which you would be
treated to some superb views in the Garden County.

Please be aware that cars parked
in areas close to walking trails are vulnerable and they can be
vandalised or stolen. Unfortunately this is an ongoing problem
which is extremely difficult to solve, so there is a risk involved.
I have heard recently that many hiker groups are parking at the
nearest population centres and getting taxis to and from the start
points at very little expense.
Please observe the country code to the best of your ability. Local
landowners often generously allow access to upland areas across or
through parts of their private property. Please, please be
conscious of this and return the courtesy by keeping all gates
closed, immediately and not on your way back!. Please use the gates
where appropriate but if you have to climb over them then use the
hinged side ONLY.
Please do not cause any damage of any sort to fences or barriers
along the way.
