This climb hurt. It had been fairly steep and GF found it hard going. As the view opened out, however, the sheer scale of the endeavour became clear. Huge defensive ditches stretching for many hundreds of yards had been dug in concentric rings around the hill.
This ditch is, perhaps, the most startling and probably shows the size that they all reached before they were eroded.
From the top the view was magnificent. There were still people about, but not as many as on the north hills. From here, however, those north hills looked deserted and GF was pleased with the progress he had made.Well, pleased except for the worry that there were still 5 more summits to reach before the southern end.
