On my way to investigate the claims for Knockeirys exclusion in the Arderins list, I naturally took in Knockowen and Cushnaficulla on the way there. Whilst pondering in my mind, that it probably was not a good idea to stay in a certain well known pub to the small hours of the morning, and then go hillwalking the next day, let alone to do it 7 nights in a row. I noticed that whilst my map, and the MV listed the spot height as 594m and on the West top, my Satamap software gave a second spot height of 596m on the East top of Cushnaficulla. So, not only a gain of 2 metres, but a move to the east for the summit! As the mapping is supplied to Satamap by OSI, does the new series maps have this extra spot height on them? And more to the point has anyone just visited the east top and not the west?, no sniggering at the back there!

Richard Mersey [The Hills of Cork and Kerry] “.. it is worth going to the Northern peak [of Cushnaficulla] and peering into the depths of Glenrastel, now over 1,500 feet vertically below you. Cushnaficulla, indeed, has a magnificent north face that is the steepest in Beara.” The photo shows this view – I am sure you will agree that it is impressive. (Comment Rating 3.50)

This is a picture of Cushnaficulla from its West. The little lake visible in the picture is Lough Namuinna, supposedly a great place to swim if you don’t mind cold water. (Comment Rating 3.00)

exaisle7 hours ago. 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.
