Picture: Too 4x4 by far?

Boggy even in fine weather

by thomas_g 1 Apr 2012 Parked at W17988 83662 (Point D), room for one car (just) in what looks like an old shed. If you've got more than one car (not that I'm suggesting that you can drive more than one at a time) there is room for about 6 cars at a forestry entrance at W17252 83903 (Point E).
I headed a few hundred metres further down the valley to a gate, went through and headed straight up for the summit along the line of a fence.
Despite nearly 2 weeks of dry weather and record temperatures in March, it's still a boggy slog with alternating tussocky grass and bog holes, I can't imagine what it's like in the depths of winter.
I was disappointed to see some 4x4 damage between Knocknagowan and Caherbaragh, I will admit I did enjoy the few minutes respite gained by following the tracks though.
Nice views over the Clydagh valley (if you like wind turbines) and the Paps looked well in the distance today. I continued straight on to Caherbarnagh (see my comments there).
On the return I decided to contour around Knocknagowan, wouldn't advise it, it's easier just to go straight over the top.
