Lackabane: NW Spur

Summit Comment simon3 a week ago
The NE spur off Lackabane is something of a knife edge, descending steeply and with even steeper sides. Watch it on a poor day.

Derryclancy: Bump between the Healy Pass and Hungry Hill.

Summit Comment simon3 a week ago
From the NW Derryclancy provides a relatively smoothed out aspect.

A wonderful Panorama
by Garmin  19 Jul 2012 Climbed Loughsalt mountain this afternoon following Vikinghar's route. It was a lovely afternoon for the climb with great visibility. The path to the top starting at the pumphouse gate C121 255 (Point D) makes for relatively easy going and was surprisingly dry considering the recent wet weather.

What a wonderful 360 degree panorama at the top with views of Binevenagh running to Benbradagh , Sleive Snaght and the Urris Hills in Innishowen, Sawel and Dart in the Sperrins and Muckish to Errigel in NW Donegal. An added bonus is that this mountain is completely unspoiled with thankfully no sign of Mobile Phone towers or other structures which polute so many other mountains.

Will definately climb this one again!
Point D: C121 255
