Short Summary created by scapania 19 Oct 2010
Turn off the N86 about 200m west of Derrymore bridge at Q741 111 (Point A) , up the narrow road until the road swings around to the left, with a cottage and a track on the right, where there is parking for a couple of cars. Head up the track, over a stile onto the open mountain and across the Dingle way. Follow a faint path to the right of the gorge of the Derrymore River, until you reach the second of three lakes high in the glen. Go right from here to a flat area around Fionn MacCool's Table, then pick a line diagonally left up through bands of rock and across the slope to reach the col with Caherconree. Head left from the col up broad, rocky slopes, until the broad summit is reached. Comment Rating (4.00)

Take care on a windy day
by wicklore 23 Aug 2012
This view, taken from Gearhane, shows Baurtregaum with Derrymore Lough below. When approaching Baurtregaum from Caherconree there is a narrow spur to descend before reaching the col and point 706m at Q74200 07400 (Point B) . In good conditions this spur is fine - it is grassy and easy to manage, However there are steep slopes to either side so in windy weather care would be needed to ensure the brief descent goes smoothly. Baurtregaum is crowned by a trig pillar with several stone wind shelters built nearby - there must enough shelters to protect from wind approaching from every point of the compass!

David Herman [Hill Walkers Kerry] says of this summit "..Baurtregaum, Caherconree's plain and dumpy sister." and yes, the summit is flattish. However there are good views and the low shelters shown in the photo.(Comment Rating 4.36)

Started oppsite the entrance to Derrymore .Parked by a cottage at the top of the road and followed the path to the Dingle way . From there we headed up the northside of Gearhane followed the ridge to the top .and on to Caherconree.Once on Caherconree just follow the ridge to the east to the summit of Baurtregaum. From there there is excellent views all over north Kerry to the north and the Reeks to the south. on the return to the car via Baurtregaum ne top and nwtop and back to the car via Derrymore Glen . For the loop give yourself 4.5 hours

Caherconree and Bautregaum
by Singo 2 Jan 2011
On 01/01/11 using David Herman's Hill Walkers Kerry, I took the hike up Caherconree and Baurtregaum. For anyone using the book please note at the very start you walk up to the end of the path, through a gate bearing a sign in relation to mountain safety. There is no need to climb over the "second gate on the left" that he mentions.
