(Details)     COMMENTS for Bunnacunneen Page 1 of 1 simon3  13 Jun 2006 Why would you go up Bunnacunneen? True at 575m it isn't so high and true it is has hardly the same grand slopes as many of the surrounding ranges. However on a good day it has a full 360 degrees of view from the summit. The whole range of the Turks from Corcog to Leenane Hill, the flanks of Maumtrasna, Rinavore, Ben Gorm, the Devil's Mother and Mweelrea and then to the east there is Lough Mask. On the day we summitted there was a clear view of the Sheefrys, Croagh Patrick and some of the Nephin Begs which are 45km away. Include Ben Beg and Lugnabricka and you'll have a great circuit. One way of reaching Bunnacunneen is as part of a circuit starting east of Lugnabricka. Leave the road at L989 566 (Point A) and head diagonally up towards the col at around L994558 (Point B), a route that is mostly over relatively uncultivated land. Point A: L989 566 Point B: L994 558 (turn area map On) Picture: Bunnacunneen and summits north of it. Contract pics. (Comment Rating 4.00) Your Score: Very useful <<  >>Average mreeyore  6 May 2004 Bunnacunneen is a rarely climbed mountain in comparison to the nearby Maumturks. The summit is flat and vegetated with numerous peat hags. An interesting short walk follows the stream that leads from the road which takes you into the "heart" of the mountain an unusual place where you will find yourself almost entirely surrounded by the mountain, from here it's an easy climb up the right fork in the stream to the ridge which runs north to the summit and from there back down along the main ridge running south. There are quite a few fences to be encountered along the way and most of this land is farmed so you may want to check in with the farm at the southern base of the mountain. The views from the top are worth a mention as you get an excellent view of all the Maumturks aswell as views down Lough NaFooey and across to Devil's Mother. (Comment Rating 3.75) Your Score: Very useful <<  >>Average maurice12  2 Feb 2008 This is a lovely walk particularly for if you are bringing children (age 13 & 10 ) as the views of mountains to be climbed is spectacular . We climbed it on the 30th Dec and despite the continuous rain it was particularly dry underfoot and the temptation do do the circut was high but time was against us.
