Knocknasilloge
by Jamessheerin  18 Jan 2011 Well worth the effort; this hill is off the beaten track but has great views of the usual suspects in Connemara- the Bens & Turks, from an unusual angle. Going offroad at L992 401 (Point A), heading SE to the summit of Lackadunna (317m). Several false tops over good ground on the way. The trig point (in great condition) at Knocknasilloge (346m) is a further 850m to the NE over boggy ground. Rounded off the morning by doing several more tops to the NW, coming back to the road at L998 403 (Point B). Something to watch out for on top- an immense standing stone (glacial erratic). An honour to be the first to log this one for Mountain Views!
