(Details)     COMMENTS for Cummeenbaun Page 1 of 1 Picture: Cummeenbaun from the east, Droppa in front. Expand pics.   by simon3  26 Mar 2006 If you have ascended the indistinct lump called Caha and then go west towards Cummeenbaun you can savour 3k of one of the most remote and interesting ridges in the Cahas or anywhere in Ireland. The southern side is much less steep than the northern however it is steeper than the equivalent side of the nearby Cusnaficulla-Knockowen ridge, which is somewhat similar. Around 800m east of Cummeenbaun you will come to the unsung, but spectacular Droppa. What an unusual name. Paul Tempan supplied the following information about it. "The anglicised form Droppa could come from the word 'dreapa' meaning 'climb' or 'place suitable for climbing'; it can also mean 'ledge' or 'crevice' (in a cliff). The Irish words for rock-climber 'dreapadóir' and rock-climbing 'dreapadóireacht' come from this. This interpretation would fit with the topography. Regarding the Irish version, the name Struice an Iolair is found on the old "Killarney District" map, not at this point but at a higher spot near Caha, and Eagles Nest is given as the English version. The Killarney District map is generally less authoritative than the later Discovery series, but in this case it would appear to be more plausible." Our photo shows the axe-head top and steep north side of Droppa from the east, with Cummeenbaun in the background.

Expand pics. by simon3  28 Mar 2006 There's space for a few cars at V82621 59671 (Point A) near a bridge. As of 2006, the road to there has been relatively recently resurfaced. Further up the valley there are some apparently abandoned houses. From here you could, for example, walk somewhat circuitously by road to Knockreagh or go directly to Cummeenbaun, perhaps using the route shown in the simulation (courtesy OSI TrailMaster) Point A: V82621 59671 (turn area map On) (Comment Rating 3.00) Your Score: Very useful <<  >>Average by Conor74  6 Apr 2009 Another access to and descent from this mountain is contained in the Glenrastel walks of the walks section, whereby the mountain is accessed from the Droppa side and one descends on the Pookeen side, going south west.
