Terrain:

Terrain: Challenging hill terrain. The Cloud is a prominent gritstone escarpment (343m / 1,125ft). Paths leading to the summit are steep, rocky, uneven, and can be very muddy and slippery, especially after rain. The summit area is a mix of bare rock, heather, and bilberry. Surrounding paths through woodland (e.g., Cloud Wood) are also often steep, rooty, and muddy. Some sections involve stone steps or pitched paths.
