Easy walk: views to Blackstairs and North.
Short Summary created by simon3  8 Jun 2010 A great attraction of Greenoge is the huge view of the north end of the Blackstairs. There are also views to the north and to nearby summits nearer the coast such as Slieveboy and Carrigroe Hill. The obvious way to start is from the SW at Kilbrannish Forest Recreation Area car park at around S842568 (Point A). Follow the South Leinster Way until you reach an edge of the forest S 85636 57573 (Point B) leading up towards the wind turbines.
Another waypoint to reach the top is from around S86501 57313 (Point C) on forest tracks. Another place to start is from the NE at S87218 58650 (Point D).
There is no distinct top in amongst the heather. The summit area has four wind turbines with associated access roads.
It is easy to continue to Croaghaun via forest roads as marked on the sheet 68.
Point A: S842 568 Point B: S85636 57573 Point C: S86501 57313
Point D: S87218 58650

Picture: No entry: the summit of Greenoge
by csd  29 Sep 2007 We approached Greenoge from the northeast, where there's room to park one car at the start of the Coillte track at S87218 58650. The plan was to follow the South Leinster Way, take the track left up the slope onto the ridge that extends NE from the summit. However, we turned left too early: ignore the turnoff at S87326 58132 (Point E) unless you like bashing through spruce and gorse. The correct turn shown on sheet 68 is a few hundred metres further on, after the trees end. The rest of the tracks are shown accurately on 68, so finding the summit area is easy. The summit itself appears to be on private property: a wind farm occupies the area immediately around the summit. Unfortunately the clouds had descended, obscuring any view.
Point E: S87326 58132

Picture: The view from Greenoge: Mount Leinster on left, Slievebawn on right.		  
by madfrankie  30 Mar 2010 From Croaghaun we continued east on pleasant forest tracks for some 3km.
Rather than take the track that contours round Greenoge to the NE, we followed the forest's edge (which abuts high farmland) towards the wind turbines looming on the skyline. Greenoge is a flattish top, completely dominated by the 5 or 6 wind turbines at its summit.
Despite the intrusive presence of all this stuff, there are fine views to be had, notably the impressive bulk of Mount Leinster, a short distance south.
We returned to the forest track, but then took another forest road (waymarked The South Leinster Way) SW down to the tarred road. Another kilometer and we were back at the car park at the Corrbut Gap.

Picture: The view to the NE.		  
by csd  29 Sep 2007 Greenoge's position at the end of the Blackstairs means there are uninterrupted views of the rolling countryside to the north and east. This was spoiled somewhat by low cloud, but glimpses were possible. This shot shows the view northeast along the ridge that I used to access the summit
