Pykestone Hill photo

Summit of Pykestone Hill

The highest part of the northern end of the Thieves Road at 737m, Pykestone Hill continues the theme of dry crisp upland heath and easy progress. The photo was taken during the afternoon, and by now the sun had seen off the overnight snowfall. Given good cover these hills are ideal for ski touring. The background hill is Drumelzier Law.
