Cliffside
by Geansai  3 Jul 2011 I went over a gate and a little way up the track off the road marked on the os map to the east of Glinsk before turning left onto the hill. Don't know about parking at that gate. I had walked down to the road from Tawnaghmore, having parked I was to discover a fifty minute walk down the road from this track which you only go up a little way. Its a rough but short climb over the heather. There is a little ridge between two high points. The unmarked summit area is on the southern side further away from the sea. No cairn. On the northern high point you can walk down towards the cliffs before being confronted by a barbed wire fence. I didn't bother trying to get over it. I could see a sailing boat heading east close to the coast below. On the way up Tawnaghmore I could make out the faint shape of cliffs on the Donegal coast, but they were no longer visible despite the clear weather. Good views across the North Mayo coast though. Then it was back down the hill and a pleasant but long walk back to the car.
