Mighty views
Short Summary created by aidand  24 Sep 2012 There is parking for about 6 cars at Lough Annascaul. Start by following the roadway up the valley until it peters out in the bog above. From here head NE initially across bog and then continuing NE gradually ascend the southern slopes of Beenoskee, but actually heading for the neighbouring Stradbally Mountain. You will eventually reach a fence which will lead you up to the summit of Stradbally Mountain and its impressive views. From here it is a 10 minute walk west to the top of Beenoskee. Beware there are major cliffs on the northern side of this ridge. From Beenoskee you can descend SW and pick up the track back down to Lough Annascaul. Allow about 5 hours.

by fmacm  4 Sep 2007 The Munster Jersey near the peak of Stradbally was erected, by his loyal friends, in memory of a fine young Limerick man, Donald Earlie, who died suddenly (aged 22) in January 2004.
Update Saturday 1 July 2006 - Don's friends made their annual visit to the top of Stradbally and replaced the now tattered Munster flag with an Irish flag. Around the flag pole are the remains of the prayer flags which were brought from Everest Base Camp by Michael C and put up during Summer 2005. Update September 2007 - Don's friends replaced the Munster flag with a Limerick flag this Summer.

Picture: Misty ridge of Stradbally		  
by simon3  11 Jun 2009 There's a handy and relatively gradual ridge leading to the top of Stradbally going NE from its top. For much of the way there is a fence along the middle of the ridge and beside the ridge we saw this fine, misty view.

by simon3  18 Sep 2004 This visualisation shows Stradbally and the principal peaks in the area. The viewpoint is to the north-east. It is possible to stay on high ground from Stradbally over the Connor Pass (west of Slieveanea) and then on to Brandon Peak and Brandon.

by three5four0  2 Oct 2009 See Beenoskee for the previous section of this walk.

Fresh and breeze on top with the first Autumnal bite in the air as we sat down for our sandwiches. Stradally has fine views across to Beenoskee above the Lochan and out towards Brandon Mountain, a fine place to munch on yer piece before walking on.

Descended south, all the way towards pt 346, before climbing up Reamore with its burial Cairn and stone alinement, from here its a fairly level walk out to Dromvalley Mountain with another large cairn on the summit.
