Fortunately the mist restricts our view of the concrete monstrosity, mentioned by Jackill, in the background. The vehicle to the left of the monstrosity is a 4WD. Usually I can't say I want these things on mountains (or in cities). However I would make an exception for this occasion where it was bringing organisers and supplies for participants on the annual Comeragh Challenge. This illustrates that it it possible to drive to the summit, assuming you have the key for the gate. You certainly won't do it in an ordinary car however.

Expand pics.   by simon3  17 Jul 2005 Coming south from Seefin this megalithic cairn at around 670m marks the start of a sharp descent along the ragged fence to Barnamaddra Gap and standing stone. On the occasion that I did it, the wind was extraordinary. It hadn't been very noticeable at all on Seefin or points north of there, but here it must have been near to the tumbling point. Safely returned I sought an explanation from maps. The wind was from the SW and the slope stretching from Seefin to Coumaraglin and Farbreaga is a hugh natural ampitheatre. The wind wasn't that strong either on the plateau top or at road level but entering this mostly treeless valley is scooped and concentrated on the ridge near the cairn. Since the SW is the commonest direction for wind, this must happen fairly often, so I would be interested if anyone else has encountered such a phenemenon.

Expand pics. by csd  3 Mar 2008 I parked at the start of the forest track at S25466 04916 (Point A) and followed it up to the summit. Navigation is straightforward, even though my 1993 preliminary edition Sheet 75 wasn't quite right about the tracks or the current extent of the plantation. The concrete hut is still there at the summit, unfortunately. There are, however, some lovely views north towards Fauscoum, west over to the Knockmealdowns, and south to Croahan. It takes about 90 minutes to reach the top from the parking space, so Seefin makes an easy bagging target.

Being out of shape I started at stage 2 in the Nire valley and made my way with an excellent group of people up to Coumfea West Top where we stopped for a bite to eat and caught glimpses of the lakes below as gaps in the cloud blew past intermittantly. From here we continued around the corrie before striking out for Seefin as shown in the attached visualisation. As part of a very well organised walk we were greeted on top of Seefin with energy drinks and flapjacks. Brilliant!
