(Details)     COMMENTS for Knockroe Page 1 of 1 by milo  2 Aug 2002 Stony slopes to the southern face can be particularly treacherous once fern growth is well advanced. If one's only experience of this area is in Spring be cautious on later visits.

I had the benefit of a marvellous winter evening and approaching sunset as per the photo. Knockroe is the mountain left of centre in the photo.

(Comment Rating 2.50) Your Score: Very useful <<  >>Average Expand pics.   by csd  6 Apr 2004 We parked at the forest entrance on the R702 at 835 478 (Point A), and approached Knockroe from the Aughnabrisky River. The forest tracks aren't exactly as shown on Sheet 68, but if you keep going NW through the forest from the end of the marked track, you'll eventually hit the river. Following the river avoids the fenced pasture and the steeper sections of the ascent to Knockroe. The picture shows the view from the summit looking NE, with the cairn and some ruined walls (which provide shelter from the wind), with Black Rock Mtn in the middle distance.
