(Details)     COMMENTS for Ballineddan Mountain Page 1 of 1 Expand pics.   by simon3  2 Jun 2003 You can reach Ballineddan from the road at Ballinfoyle, where there is a three way junction, parking at around S 986 903 (Point A). There is a prominent gap in the forest there which leads directly onto rough moorland below the mountain. There are other routes as mentioned in this note which was originally on the MCI website: "If you are walking on the northwest slope of Ballineddan Mountain please use the stile and gate provided at the bottom of the slope. Damage has been done to the fence and if this continues the farmer will deny access. The stile is at GR 994 910 (Point B) and the gate at GR 997 914 (Point C)." Starting up Ballineddan is one way of reaching Lugnaquillia as our photo from the summit shows. Lugnaquillia is the mountain on the left. You can go directly to it from Ballineddan or via Slievemaan, the mountain to the right. Point A: S986 903 Point B: R994 910 Point C: R997 914 (turn area map On) (Comment Rating 4.40) Your Score: Very useful <<  >>Average Expand pics. by csd  9 Feb 2004 Similar shot to Simon's, on a slightly colder 08.02.2004. I thought it might be easy to follow the stream that marks the boundry of the artillery range down from the summit of Ballineddan -- how wrong I was. The boundry fence with the farmer's land crosses onto the range side of the stream, so it's not a matter of simply following it down to the road. Should have paid attention to simon and berber!

Here you will find this stout gate with chain. On this occasion we welcome the locked gate because it is intended to keep quads and scramblers out who are causing serious environmental damage. This damage is particularly bad near Slievemaan as you can see from earlier comments in Mountain Views. You can even see the start of the damage to the left of the photo. We understand that the landowner is not opposed to hillwalkers using the path up Ballineddan. We would request that hillwalkers take special care to avoid damaging fences and adding to any path erosion.

I followed the directions given in Joss Lynams book about easy walks in Dublin/Wicklow. From the road near Ballinabarney gap it took an hour to the top. I parked near the military warning sign which is on the southern base of the mountain. I started through a locked gate and moved up in a firebreak gap in the wood. About 100m up, there is another gate (again locked) At this point you leave the edge of the forest and begin walking ENE up the hill. There is a track which I followed from here to within 100m of the top. Its a vehicle track but has not been used in a while (no evidence of the dreaded quadbikes). Its an easy walk then to the top. There's a small stone cairn at the top and a good view of Lug (to the ENE) with many walkers on it (spotted through the binoculars). Slievemaan is close by - to the East. I can see why this could be an access route up Lug.......maybe for another day. I chose an alternative route down, heading SE, again following J Stones suggestion in the book. I found access to the road through the forest very difficult, hand and knees stuff in very wet and muddy underfoot. Either descend further to the East, or follow the original route back down. Either is straightforward (Comment Rating 3.80) Your Score: Very useful <<  >>Average by berber  29 Aug 2002 Reckon that the directions in New Irish Walk Guides East and South to get to the start of the walk are incorrect. From Donard follow signposts to Michael O'Dwyers Cottage and take the first right. At forest end on right there is room for 4-5 cars. To climb Ballinedan - start on the opposite side of the road and descend downhill through the firebreak. Ground is exceptionally wet here/ Many of the stiles in place are broken - sodden through.

Parking available at the roadside and the Mountain is accessed via a gate at the gap in the forest. From here, a 40 minute walk up a prominent track opens up extensive views and leads to the small summit cairn. From the summit, there is an obvious path across to Slievemann and onto Lug - unfortunately, it's just a case of following the quad-tracks.
