Think none of the Scavvies so far have tackled the Dunkerrons, and the Cloon Horseshoe at its heart - Mullaghanattin, Beann, Finnararagh and then moving all the way on to Knocknagantee and swingin...

Picture: Gortnagara stone circle, Truskmore behind.		  
by paddyhillsbagger  18 Mar 2010 After Tievebaun I headed roughly SSE across desolate moorland for the even more desolate plain that is Gortnagara. Couldn't find anything to call the top so chose a peat hag. It's a long walk from Tievebaun and an even longer one back across the moorland to pick up Truskmore access road where we started the days walk. The most exciting thing about Gortnagara isn't it's "top" but the stone circle and other rock formations near the cliff edge at G779 468 (Point A) and G783 467 (Point B) which were the only relief to anotherwise arduous trek for a dull top. Purely for the list tickers!
Point A: G779 468 Point B: G783 467

by NeillHogg  22 Dec 2007 Was going to go up it at eagle rock but an albino on a quad told us there was no walking here and that there were consequences if we went up. This was a couple of years ago,things might have changed but I doubt it.
