Summary
Short Summary created by march-fixer, simon3, Dessie1  21 May 2012 The Sally Gap crossroads O1301510996 (Point A) at the intersection of R115 and R759 is an ideal start point for a short trip up Carrigvore.The summit can be reached by taking a 223 deg true heading from the crossroad all the way to top,roughly 1.1 km (O12271014 (Point B)). A large granite laden summit awaits with fine 360 deg views.A great point to start a good circuit of hills with Gravale, Duff Hill, Mullagcleevaun East Top and Mullaghcleevaun within reach.
Another starting point, particularly if you are doing the a longer circuit is to start at the Kippure Centre at around O085141 (Point C).

The large rock outcrop at the summit provides a lovely viewing point and even has a water font carved into the top of the highest rock - not sure about the quality of the water though! Would be a magnificent sheltered spot of a sunny day.
Point A: O13015 10996 Point B: O1227 1014 Point C: O085 141
