The Devils Punch Bowl...not for the faint hearted

by YoungJohn 27 May 2012 On 14th May. Turned left after the hotel at the Mangerton sign. Followed this road for a mile or so. There is a sign for a viewing point at a t-juncion. Turned right. Followed the road to the end of a pine woods surrounded by a stone wall. A sign stands beside a concrete slab for a bridge. Parked here. Followed Paddy Dillons directions in reverse! followed the path beside the stream to the top where we branched of left for Mangerton Nth Top. Then back for the ridge overlooking the Devils Punch Bowl and to Mangerton itself. Mangerton's summit is directly ahead of the ridge. It is marked by a TRIG not a Cairn, in the bog with a bent metal pole...back to the edge of Mangerton along gleannnacappal to Stoompa.. What spectacular views of lakes, cliffs and a possible eagle sighting! No wonder the normans wanted to invade....the kingdom at its best.
