A great day's walk from The Pocket ( E. Side )or as part of a long day round the Cloon Loughs. Walkers should avoid blocking agri-access when they park near the start of the former circuit. If going round it anti-clockwise please note the following from Catherine McMullin (Laune MC):

You can use the trig pillar on Mullaghanattin to steady your camera for views around the Mullaghanattin circuit. Also take a the view north east to the south side of the Reeks. (Comment Rating 4.00)

Found this one hard to beat, in terms of being able to get up and down quickly, and get stunning views along the way. No long trek to get to the base, no slow ascent or difficult terrain, took us just over 2 hours to from car to peak back to car. Others have gone through the great scenery, and it IS great, so will just stick to the bare details. Parked car on Glencar side of Ballagh Beama, at V746 788 (Point A) , there is room for one car that can pull right in off the east side of the road. Crossed over a low fence on the west side of the tarred road and headed straight for a stream that flowed down the side of the mountain in front of us. There is a further stream that flows from a higher point on the south, nearer Ballagh Beama, but that looked quite steep. Should pont out that all streams were very low and easy to cross, but this was after a period of prolonged fine weather so cannot vouch for them in winter- judging by the channels they have cut they don't seem that wide. Followed the stream up along the side of the hill, crossing another fence that was very manageable and like the first had no barbed wire. The stream changes direction at V740 781 (Point B) , but we decided to head straight for the North ridge so continued on and clambered up on to the ridge at V738 780 (Point C) . From there on it is a straightforward walk south along the ridge to the top of the mountain. The last 100m or so is the hardest, nothing technically difficult but takes a lot out of the legs. Not sure it would be too easy to descend on this route though, was pretty steep in places. The ascent took about 1 hr 15 mins. From the summit we headed east along a well defined track to another summit at V744 774 (Point D) , which gives great views back across to the mountain. We then turned north and descended to V742780 (Point E) , and from there it is easy to see back to the road and the car. The descent took 50 mins.
Point A: V746 788
Point B: V740 781
Point C: V738 780
Point D: V744 774
Point E: V742 780

On Saturday last, while hiking the Coumloughra Horseshoe, we were blessed with the most fabulous cloud inversion that was present for many hours of our walk. This photo shows Mullaghanattin to the SW poking through the clouds as visible from the summit of Caher West Top. It's views like this that can make you catch your breath and stun you into silence.(Comment Rating 4.00)

29 Apr 2006. A day I'll never forget. Finished the walk under the moonlight after a full day's bagging Beann NE Top, Mullaghanattin, Beann , Beann South Top, Beann West Top, Finnararagh, Coomanassig and Coomura. Splendid walk. Splendid horseshoe around Cloon. One of its summits cast a spell on me, Mullaghanattin. No other mountain in Ireland is shaped like it. A perfect 3D triangle which HAS to be climbed in life. Savor the views from the top. It's one of the best you can ask for in Ireland.(Comment Rating 3.75)

Access problems in the Pocket appear to have worsened considerably. Walkers would in my opinion be best advised to climb it from Ballaghabeama or from the west until some agreement can be found with the locals. A great pity, but I'm told there was serious heat generated here on 29th Dec.'03
