Thank you kevin carroll. If I can put a smile on that contrary face, the Matterhorn should be a cakewalk.

In search of the elusive "pole", a truly ripping yarn !
by Harry Goodman  19 Aug 2010 Having read three5four0's comments about "the pole" I went in search of it on 11 August 2010 as my intended route to this hill but to no avail !! I drove E up the Gortinure Road from New Buildings and then left C422121 (Point A) on to the Kittybane Road on the west side of the hill but could not spot the "pole". I therefore decided to park at, but not blocking access to, a farm lane on the left at C4270613190 (Point B). There was no one at home but a lady passing told me she did not think there would be any problem with where I was parked. I crossed the road and once over a farm gate went uphill keeping the fence line to my right and followed it up over several fences to the top which, as three5four0 had advised, was a meeting point for a three way wall/fence junction C4341212790 (Point C). Before descending by my route of ascent I went out a short distance NW to a small ring contour for a better view down over the Foyle and to the Donegal Highlands and Bluestacks beyond. I could not say I enjoyed this climb as the clambering over barbed wire fences became quite tedious and made even more so by seiously ripped trousers!! Total distance up and down was 1.8k completed easily within 45 minutes. Once back at my car and driving along the Kittybane Road I passed double metal gates to my left and just inside a single thick post on its own and not part of any fence line. Had I at last found three5four0's elusive "pole". It was at C4265813036 (Point D) and only about 200 metres from my starting point. Sod's law reigns supreme! Clondermot Hill, Slievekirk and Gortmonly Hill can all be climbed quite comfortably, with not too much driving, on the same afternoon or morning. For links see my comments on each of the other hills.
Point A: C422 121 Point B: C42706 13190 Point C: C43412 12790
Point D: C42658 13036

by three5four0  24 Aug 2009 The way to summit of Clondermot Hill lies not via the masts access track, but via the fields instead. Whilst asking if it was ok to park near a Farm House i also asked about the track, while the two people chatting agreed that the track may be a right of way, the land owner was very likely to challenge anyone walking up the track. Both recommended walking up by the "pole" (on the west side) instead, as this was the way they always went to the summit. After driving back and forth on the minor road we stopped to ask a runner, he directed us back the way we came with much the same description as we had been given before, this time we found the pole, or I should say a pole!

From this point we walked through a gate uphill several fields, reaching the summit area which was bisected by a 3 way wall junction. The wall being the highest point, with ground on either side being of a similar height, best to visit both sides then! Descent was by way of ascent.

If going to climb this hill, i would enquire locally or ask anyone you meet about the best way up, as everyone we asked had been to the top via the fields, rather than the track to the mast. So there seems to be no problem with ascending this way, but it never hurts to make sure in these cases.
