SEX ROCKS AND ROLLS

Forum: General BleckCra a week ago
"It's like sex," she said. We looked at her. "Hillwalking. It's like sex." Her big scrubbed North Antrim face - and I imagined she didn't know much about either - not her fault mind, given the...

MountainViews.ie Picture about mountain Ballykildea Mountain in area Shannon, Ireland
Picture: Ballykildea View.		  
by simon3  21 Oct 2009 The views from Ballykildea include the Slieve Bernagh ridge and the continuation of the whole horseshoe to Glennagalliagh. The east end of the ridge, with Moylussa, is shown on the skyline in the picture.

One way of getting to the summit is to start from the Ballycuggaran wood R688760 (Point A). Work your way around the tracks. Some of these are shown, sort of, on the 1:50k map. There is also a map displayed at the entrance to the park. Google Earth has as of 2009 useful photos of the tracks. You need to get to R65837434 (Point B) (whitish widened area on the road in the picture) from where there is a ride south from the road to the heathery uncairned summit dome. If you are also ascending Moylussa, the ride north will take you in the right direction.
Point A: R688 760 Point B: R6583 7434
