(Details)     COMMENTS for Slievanea NE Top Page 1 of 1 Picture: The Coumanare Lochs Expand pics.   by jackill  2 Jun 2005 From Coumanares summit looking across the high valley towards the Reeks. Below is Loch Barrot in the foreground with Loch Meain and An Loch Dubh behind. The broad shoulder of Gowlane sweeps down from the left toward Bearna na Gaoithe (yes it is windy). Just left of centre is Banoge North reached by a steep climb up from the gap and then the long easy ridge over to Knockmulanane.The Iveragh Mountains are visible in the haze across the bay. The summit of Coumanare is marked by a small cairn of stones. The sense of isolation you feel in the valley of the Coumanare lochs really is splendid - apart from a few old tracks and sheep folds it has largely escaped mans influence.

If you want a more challenging way up to start a walk in these Cnetral Dingle mountains you could try this. I started this walk from our farmhouse, crossing the road by the large sign you'll see as you wind uphill. The gate by the sign (518084 (Point A))leads up not too boggy ground to a constant uphill pull south up the face, following a ruined wall for some of the way. It's steep but steady and will probably take around 45 minutes to get you to the summit, which seemed to stay far clearer of clouds than the nearby Brandon group; I didn't see the top of Brandon itself once in 8 days. Great vieweast and south east fro there, but I enjoyed the views behind as I climbed - the lovely vista of brandon Bay surrounded by mountains. It's all easy walking once you're up on the tops. I trotted over to Slievanea and got picked up from the car park at the top of the Conor Pass but would have loved to head east to easily pick off the other summits - a walk for the future.

Very soon the view to the NE (on right) beings to open up. The Coumanare Lakes are visible on the plateau below, but what really draws the attention forward is the flight of serried tops that rims the NW-facing corries. Slievenalecka, Slievenagower, Beenbo (Gob an Iolair), Binn an Tuair, and even An Com Ban are all visible from here. And then, slightly to the right, the dominating triangle of Beenoskee. In this remote upland area, if you like solitude, you are well served!
