aidand 2012-05-04 09:03:28	Dirty Dozen ? As a contrast to the Top 5 debate on this forum can I suggest we need a list of routes to be avoided. I was climbing Lugnaquilla by the Camara Hill route earlier this week. The popularity of this route is leading to serious erosion and an ever widening path. I will avoid this route in the future. There is an alternative route from Aughavanagh which I plan to use on my next visit. It would be useful if this website included a list of similar badly eroded routes and possible alternatives. We complain about quad bikes on the hills, but hundreds of pairs of boots can also do a lot of damage. My second suggestion for the 'black list' is Djouce. Again the popularity of this hill is its downfall. Any other routes to be avoided?

Climbed this today, it looks awful from the road, but once you're on the slope it's not that bad. There is the odd ankle twisting hole, but it's fairly easy to navigate the shelves to the top. Abo...
