Parking at the end of Gale Road allows you to get on top of Latrigg with relative ease, so much so that we decided on a quick excursion to the summit to make the most of an excellent afternoon weather-wise. The paths are easy to follow and there's even an accessible route for those with limited mobility. It really is a family fell. Here are the photos from our short walk.
