(Details)     COMMENTS for Mullaghanattin Page 1 2 3 Next page >> by milo  6 Nov 2002 A great day's walk from The Pocket ( E. Side )or as part of a long day round the Cloon Loughs. Walkers should avoid blocking agri-access when they park near the start of the former circuit. If going round it anti-clockwise please note the following from Catherine McMullin (Laune MC): The descent to Derrenageer is wrongly shown on Sheet 78 and the farmer has problems from walkers descending incorrectly. The correct line of descent is via point 639 and on toward 381, continuing until you see a farm road heading downhill toward the N.

A day I'll never forget. Finished the walk under the moonlight after a full day's bagging Beann NE Top, Mullaghanattin, Beann , Beann South Top, Beann West Top, Finnararagh, Coomanassig and Coomura. Splendid walk. Splendid horseshoe around Cloon. One of its summits cast a spell on me, Mullaghanattin. No other mountain in Ireland is shaped like it. A perfect 3D triangle which HAS to be climbed in life. Savor the views from the top. It's one of the best you can ask for in Ireland. (Comment Rating 4.33) Your Score: Very useful <<  >>Average by milo  6 Jan 2004 Access problems in the Pocket appear to have worsened considerably. Walkers would in my opinion be best advised to climb it from Ballaghabeama or from the west until some agreement can be found with the locals. A great pity, but I'm told there was serious heat generated here on 29th Dec.'03 (Comment Rating 4.00) Your Score: Very useful <<  >>Average Picture: A mountain View north east of Mullaghanattin. Expand pics. by simon3  19 Aug 2008 You can use the trig pillar on Mullaghanattin to steady your camera for views around the Mullaghanattin circuit. Also take a the view north east to the south side of the Reeks. The day I did it the wind was strong, there were clouds darkening the land and some mist about and still the view is a statement about grand and powerful slopes. Before we describe the summits, take a look down to the bottom of the picture near the left corner. One or two buildings, almost insignificant in themselves, give scale to the whole picture. On the skyline and around 10k away are Cnoc an Chullin central and Cnoc na Toine to the left, both part of the traverse of the Reeks. Below them the steep sided Broaghnabinnia and below that a spur of Stumpa Duloigh, the highest point of the Iveraghs. The dark ridge filling the lower right corner of the picture is part of Knockanauttin. For completeness, the fainter peak on the skyline to the right (actually its 17k away) is Purple Mountain. What a vantage point for a view. Someone: go back their on a better day (perhaps with dawn or winter sun highlighting the texture and shape). This must be one of the best vantage points for a dramatic shot. For access notes, take a look at my comment on Beann S.

If you are looking for a typical horseshoe walk, Mullaghanattin is the one to do. With its 1000m of ascent, and 13km length, the walk is moderate demanding and it takes 4h30 - 5h00. Moreover it offers a wonderfull panorama including the Dingle peninsula, the Beara peninsula and the famous Carrauntoohil. You can park one car at the T junction (V74739 74689 (Point A)). Then follow the road to the north and tens meters after a proeminent rock along the road, begin to climb up the slope (V74581 74936 (Point B)). One hour later or less, you reach An Cnoc Riabhach (534m). The way is easy to find : follow the wide ridge and pass by each top. I noticed 2 unnamed summits (V74837 77520 (Point C) and V74366 77372 (Point D)) at east from Mullaghanattin mount (2h20 from start). Passing the last Beann South top (3h50 from start), go to the south, you will see the old way you have to reach. It goes to a farm and the road where you parked your car. Take care of bulls and rams... You can find a better description in the Lonely planet book "Walking in Ireland".

No long trek to get to the base, no slow ascent or difficult terrain, took us just over 2 hours to from car to peak back to car. Others have gone through the great scenery, and it IS great, so will just stick to the bare details. Parked car on Glencar side of Ballagh Beama, at V746 788 (Point E), there is room for one car that can pull right in off the east side of the road. Crossed over a low fence on the west side of the tarred road and headed straight for a stream that flowed down the side of the mountain in front of us. There is a further stream that flows from a higher point on the south, nearer Ballagh Beama, but that looked quite steep. Should pont out that all streams were very low and easy to cross, but this was after a period of prolonged fine weather so cannot vouch for them in winter- judging by the channels they have cut they don't seem that wide. Followed the stream up along the side of the hill, crossing another fence that was very manageable and like the first had no barbed wire. The stream changes direction at V740 781 (Point F), but we decided to head straight for the North ridge so continued on and clambered up on to the ridge at V738 780 (Point G). From there on it is a straightforward walk south along the ridge to the top of the mountain. The last 100m or so is the hardest, nothing technically difficult but takes a lot out of the legs. Not sure it would be too easy to descend on this route though, was pretty steep in places. The ascent took about 1 hr 15 mins. From the summit we headed east along a well defined track to another summit at V744 774 (Point H), which gives great views back across to the mountain. We then turned north and descended to V742780 (Point I), and from there it is easy to see back to the road and the car. The descent took 50 mins.
