(Details)     COMMENTS for Tievnabinnia Page 1 of 1 Expand pics.   by gerrym  22 Aug 2004 Tievnabinnia is a big hill with steeply curving northern slopes and big ridges and a massive corrie to the south. From the col with Tievnabinnia East it is a short steep climb onto the extensive summit plateau, with the impressive sight and sound of the Glenlaur River dropping down the east face out of the brooding mist covering the top. A bearing of 288 will take you in the direction of the summit over gently rising ground, as near the top more eroded and stoney but good walking. I was fortunate that the weather lifted and I was able to fully appreciate the spectacular viewsfrom the top. North to Achill and Crogh Patrick, east to the East Top and Tawny Rower and west to the higher Sheefrys of Tievummera and Clashcarne with the deep corrie containing Lough Brawn (see pic). The most impressive view is south with the big ridge sweeping down into Glenummera with Ben Gorm on the other side of the valley and beyond to the 12 Bens, Mamturks and the big plateau of the Partry Mountains. From the top there is a vsible track gently dropping to follow along the steep northern slopes - could take bearing on little loughs half way along to Tievummera in very poor weather. See Tievummera for next part of traverse.

The impressive cascade was doubtless related to the New Year's weather. Top naming is interesting hereabouts. Whence was it obtained? (Comment Rating 3.00) Your Score: Very useful <<  >>Average by weedavie  10 Aug 2007 I was on this hill early in my MV days and noted "None of the summits on the ridge are named on the OS - but I've visited the grid references". This comment earned me 1 star, which seemed harsh. I'd also put a full report on the walk on Barrclashcame. Now I'd not totally worked out the use of the various settings on MV (ticking a hill to add to your list but necessarily leaving a comment, for instance) so partly I was just filling in the form. But I think I was also making a point. Is 30 metres enough definition to give an individual summit - shouldn't it be 50 or 100? I went to the summit just for completeness, the spot height (no name) on the map was an obvious turning point. As for the hill well, as a hill it's dull, but has views to keep you singing the whole way along the ridge. Without the views it'd be a challenge for map and compass and not much else. However it achieves 93% on the overall rating (before I make my contribution) which is ahead of Mweelrea's 91% and suggests some MV contributors should come over and spend some time in the White Mounth. Or maybe work out the difference between view and aesthetic and get their ideas of challenge under control. I stand by my original comment, this was a visit to a grid reference which has acquired an enormous name. As Milo asked, where did it come from?

Pretty dull top, broad enough for a hurling match, marked by cairn, but great views of Croagh Patrick on a clear day.
