a note on the walk
by lackmt  28 Jan 2012 On the Castlemaine road heading to Inch 2km after bensons shop there is a lane way (800m long) up to a gate. From here it is an easy walk to the top. On a fine day you get a view across the bay of the Reeks and almost as far as Valentia. During the winter it is wet and gets very boggy. However there is a good trail cut now as a couple of us do the walk almost daily. When you are at the gate if you look up the mountain you will see the trail. When you reach the top, if you go east following the trail strictly (at least one bog hole in vicinity of trail). That trail will bring you down into the valley beside Caherconree with some great views of it as well.

by three5four0  22 Sep 2009 A short walk from Knockbrack to Lack, crossing a fence on the way. Looking down to Castlemaine Harbour from the summit you could clearly see lots of fishing boats, some appearing to going round in circles. Dredging perhaps.

Returned to the fence and followed it towards Moanlaur. See Moanlaur for continuation...

Lack Mountain: A good start to the westerly Mish summits.
by stargazer  26 Apr 2010 We parked in a layby about 1/2 mile beyond Beheenagh (where many walkers begin the Caherconree ascent) coming from Camp. The layby coincides with an old bog track which we used for the early approach. The bog road eventually disappears and we used mountain sheep trails to complete a pleasant ascent to the summit. The view is impressive inlcuding a decent panorama taking in the other Slieve Mish summits of Caherconree and Caherbla to the east and Moanlaur and Beenduff further West. This is a really good platform for conquering some of the other summits such as Knockbrack, Moanlaur and even Emlagh if you get an early start.
