Picture: View from SW.

Rough, remote and bizarre.

by simon3 29 May 2012 The land south and south-west of this summit above Lough Coumcurrane is quite astonishing for roughness.

Take a look at this section which looks more like goitre than rock.

Towards the bottom right are a few specks of white. These are sheep.
