B5. Location Notes
The panel lies on a gentle S facing slope in dense planted coniferous trees. Without the trees there would be extensive views over the Black Water valley to the S. It lies about 50m from the track to the SW and also about 50m from Rogie 19 which is situated on the end of the ridge to the NW. It has been approached by following a compass bearing from both these points.
