You can tell that this area gets some "proper weather" when you see the shape of the Trees on the walk back down......

I was driving over the top of the mountain just a couple of miles from there once when I saw some bloke running along in a full ghillie suit. I wonder what he had done to upset the sergeant!

It's not a new thing either, there are the remains of Roman Army training camps up there too.
