In the bag in 75 minutes

by Colin Murphy 24 Aug 2012 1km directly to the NW of Musheramore, you'll find a carpark at St John's Well - ignore this and continue on south along the road about 200m, where there is a wide entrance to a forest track, with sufficient room to park a few cars. Head straight up this track, climbing over a couple of gates and contine for about 600m NNE until you see the first break in the tree line on your right - at roughly T324 858 (Point G). Head directly up the steepish mountain in a SE direction, crossing heathery terrain which isn't half as bad as it looks, as mostly the heather is of the short variety and not too dense. The terrain levels out around 600m ascent into a fairly broad summit area and you will shortly spot the large beehive cairn, and then the trig pillar and finally a large metal cross (pictured), each of which was a couple of metres higher than the previous marker. My GPS indicated the cross was the highest point, if you can trust these things, but I recommend you visit all three, which are within 100m of each other, just to be sure. Short of time, I then descended directly west, down steeper terrain than the ascent and emerged beside a newly planted section of forest, on the road next to the entrance to the Millstreet Country Park (or something). A short road walk of 400m directly north took me back to my car. In all, it took me just 45 minutes to ascend and 30 to come down, so if you're keen to bag a reasonably nice summit without too much effort, this is the one for you.The views are reputedly excellent, but on the day I went up Musheramore, I could barely see the hand in front of my face...

Point G: T324 858
