        Sunday 5th July 2009 What a stunning ride on the chairlift - not for the faint hearted. The views are superb, walking boots a good idea. The lift is open July & August only on Saturday & Sunday. A good time to see a marvellous display of wild flowers, enjoy the peaceful surroundings and clear air.
