by csd  20 May 2003 Skregmore is the first peak on the circuit of Coumloughra (assuming a clockwise direction). The picture shows the summit cairn looking back down west along the ridge.

by eflanaga  18 Jul 2006 From Stuaic Bharr na h-Abhann IV 79631 85858 (Point A) (see for previous stage of walk) you have a short but steep drop over very loose rocky ground to a saddle before ascending over similar ground to the summit of Skregmore. Perhaps, it was tiredness on my part but I found the ground to be particularly treacherous over this stage, almost turning my ankle on two or three occasions. Skregmore IV 79211 86035 (Point B) has, like most of the other summits in this are a small stone cairn marking its top. The views from here are akin to those from ‘Stuaic’. The weather had cleared considerably by this stage allowing for clearer views to the WNW across Loch Acoose and Carragh Lake and beyond as well as to the Brandon Group of mountains across the Bay.

by jackill  18 Jul 2005 When you get to the summit of Skegmore this , if you're lucky , is the view that greets you.
The summit is strewn with rocks typical of much of the Reeks and there is a fair climb up from Cnoc Iarthair to reach Skregmore.The photo shows the way on to Stumpa Barr na hAbhann, Beenakeragh, Carrantoohils Tooth and Carrauntoohil.

Mount Gabriel: Does driving up count?

I'll be honest, it was 25degrees and the sun was beating down. Tipp and Waterford were on the field and I could hear the clash of the ash over the car radio. So I said feckit, and drove up. ...
