(Details)     COMMENTS for Slievemaan Page 1 2 Next page >> Expand pics.   by simon3  2 Jun 2003 I can agree with csd's comment of 27 April. This is some of the worst high level damage in Wicklow caused, not by hillwalkers, but by bikers or quad bikers. The photo shows the damage to the ground between Slievemaan and Lugnaquillia. So bad is the damage that even after comparatively dry weather it was prudent not to walk on the ground. This is a recent phenomenom. Although it was always a bit wet here, it was easily crossable. Not any more or at least not after rain. I would advise anyone crossing between Slievemaan and Lugnaquillia to beware of the danger of getting stuck.

We nearly got stuck in wet weather, but eventually managed to get round it on the east side. We couldn't find a way through on the west at all. After descending via Camarahill we had to cross Little Slaney river after several hours persistent rain - not at all easy. One of us waded across. Best to do the circuit so that it's left until last.

Expand pics. by SDillmore  12 Jul 2005 As seen in the unfortunately dark picture, surface damage isn't limited to the col between Slievemaan and Lugnaquillia. Here is a shot of the summit, pitted with ATV tracks. Almost on cue, three riders drove past as I was doing my best to enjoy the summit.

Nice views of the South Prison on the way up from Aughavanna - almost enough to make up for the long slog up from that direction! (Comment Rating 3.67) Your Score: Very useful <<  >>Average Expand pics.   by simon3  2 Jun 2003 The summit of Slievemaan has great views to the south, though not on the day this picture was taken. The picture shows the mini-cairn in front of the impressive bulk of Lugnaquillia. The summit of Lugnaquillia is less than 200m above this point. It can't be seen because it is quite far back from the skyline, across a broad shoulder known as Percy's Table. (Comment Rating 3.50) Your Score: Very useful <<  >>Average by berber  29 Aug 2002 29-8-2002:In descending south west to get to the road I would advise walkers to walk on the rough ground between the two incised streams. These become more obvious as you descend. Rather than descend to where they join, work right so that you traverse the hill on your right about 300 metres above the junction. This helps in finding the track which serves the houses just out of sight to the west and reduces the number of walls to be crossed.
