Think none of the Scavvies so far have tackled the Dunkerrons, and the Cloon Horseshoe at its heart - Mullaghanattin, Beann, Finnararagh and then moving all the way on to Knocknagantee and swingin...

Picture: Lakes at the head of Coomavoher under Knockmoyle		  
by simon3  20 Dec 2005 Come SW over the Ballaghisheen Pass and you can see Knockmoyle very clearly (well, assuming you can see anything of course). Knockmoyle is just the NW corner of a high plateau, which it shares with Coomura Mtn and Knocknagantee. After I visited the place on a day with the cloud down I really wasn't surprised to read later in Richard Mersey [The Hills of Cork and Kerry] that "A little further north I did my most desolate walk one winter: that was the circuit of Coomavoher." Later he says of Knockmoyle "This is quite a respectable looking peak from the north, but it is a featureless bog from the south: no place to be in mist." I would completely agree though on a modern note I would also mention that there is a particularly unpleasant variety of high barbed wire fence there also.

The Coomavoher valley rises West to East just to the south of Knockmoyle having no less than 5 lakes. (There's a sixth pond in line with the others and even higher which arguably should be included.). The picture was taken from the southern side of Coomavoher near pt 553 on the 1:50k. The two lakes are numbers 3 and 4 in height order. Actually number 5 is visible high on the extreme right - it was much clearer in the original picture. I couldn't see the "slender thread of waterfall which issues from it" as extolled by David Herman [Hillwalkers Kerry] which was a pity. The summit on the skyline is Knockmoyle and the ridge to the right leads to Knocknagantee. What remote lakes, what a fantastic wild valley!
