COMMENTS for Knocknascollop NW Top of 1

by Big-Foot 6 Jun 2009 Decent views of Carrowmore Lake make this climb worth while. I parked at a clearing by the roadside at F 80897 26653 (Point A) and walking down a lane towards the hill at F 80927 26745 (Point B). There is a concrete bridge at F 81402 26823 (Point C) to get across a stream. After this, there is no clear track to follow, so I just headed straight up for the summit cairn at F 82119 27540 (Point D). This is not the true summit, as there is a higher point about 3km away 5m higher. I had no time to walk out to this point, as night was falling. I'll have to bag this point another time to truthfully have reached the summit.

Point A: F80897 26653	Point B: F80927 26745	Point C: F81402 26823
Point D: F82119 27540
