(Details)     COMMENTS for Table Mountain Page 1 of 1 Expand pics.   by padodes  22 Mar 2010 Table may be a mountain you cross on your way to somewhere else (cairn on the flat top at T 0191 9734 (Point A)), but it has its own little secrets if you care to look for them. One happens to be the wreck of a light aircraft on its lower eastern slope at T 0273 9729 (Point B), almost in the hollow between Table and Conavalla. Together with the spot where a plane came down on Corrigasleggaun in 1992 with the loss of two lives, and another spot where a similar accident took place on Corriebracks in 2008 with the loss of four, this one forms part of a kind of Bermuda Triangle (at least in my fancy) on the SW side of the Wicklow massif. Unlike the two other crashes that are well documented, little seems to be known about the one on Table. I have never been able to find a record of it. (The list given by the Air Accident Investigation Unit of the Department of Transport only goes back to 1996.) When did it happen? What were the circumstances? Was there a loss of life? Considering that not even the engine was winched away for investigation, as would occur in more recent times, the accident must go back quite a number of years; and judging by the tortured strips of fuselage that remain, the landing cannot have been a gentle one. The terrain is rough and remote in this area and any survivor would have needed at the very least, in my reckoning, an hour of vigorous walking to reach the nearest human habitation in Glenmalure. Photo: upper left, the crash site on Corrigasleggaun; upper right, the recent one on Corriebracks, marked today by a simple wooden cross; and below, the scattered remains on Table, looking towards Conavalla.

I know a little bit about aeroplanes so here goes. The Engine is 9 cylinder Alvis Leonidas rotary engine. This type of engine powered the Irish Air Corp Provost aeroplanes which were in service from the mid fifties. This is the remaining wreckage of a Provost which crashed there in March 1957. The pilot who was 21 died shortly after the crash. The accident is featured in the Irish Times of 8th March 1957. Please spare a thought for the unfortunate pilot should you visit the mountain.

Nearby Three Lakes (though I only counted two!) makes a nice spot for lunch. The dreaded quad bikers are sometimes active in this area - watch your step! Picture shows the summit taken from the track up from Baravore. (Comment Rating 2.83) Your Score: Very useful <<  >>Average by David McCann  3 Mar 2005 I was walking Ballinclea/Sugarloaf/Lobawn/Cavanagh's Gap/Table Mountain/Black Banks/Baravore last Sunday. In the drifts we sunk roughly 1-1.25 metres in snow as everywhere was white with deep snow. Also between Cavanagh's Gap & Table Mountain we had a trio of deer run across in front of us from south to north and then a lone fox north to south immediately afterwards. Whilst descending Table Track we saw a herd of Deer (whole family) across to our left on Conavalla (pronounced Cunavalla by locals).
