Go to the light!
Short Summary created by Geo, Dessie1  3 Mar 2013 Starting from the car parking area at O045147 (Point A) pass the yellow and black barrier and continue on road/track for roughly 100m until it sweeps to the left. Don't follow the track but go uphill across newly clear-felled area. Head south for just over 500m until you reach a barbed wire fence.Literally a couple of feet over the other side of this fence the views open up and you will see a white post sticking up from a stone base which is the marker for the summit(O04781398 (Point B) ). Looking SW Carrigleitrim's nearest neighbour is Sorrel hill with its distinctive summit cairn visible.To the NE Seefingan with Kippure's mast dominating the East.
Point A: O045 147 Point B: O0478 1398

Picture: Grandstand view of Liffey Valley
by padodes  16 Mar 2010 I used to know Carrigleitrim as Ballynatona in years gone by, but I rather like the name now favoured by MountainViews. Given the many granite boulders that lie strewn around this hill, the possible “grey ridge” etymology would be neatly descriptive.

I suggest starting from the little car park at O 043 108 (Point C), above Lacken. Head north over Sorrel Hill and drop down to the shoulder between it and Carrigleitrim at O 044 129 (Point D). Some years ago, there was a muddy track through this forest intersection that led straight to the summit, but you now have to circumnavigate a Maginot Line of straggly pines, water-filled trenches and barbed wire. Getting around that and crossing the fence to your left, you are finally standing on an open hillside, mercifully free of forestation. There is an excellent view back towards the long-drawn-out hump of Lugnagun and the little dome of Woodend Hill, with the snaking Pollaphuca coiled around its feet. At the top of the slight incline, the way is blocked by a wall of forest, but if you cross back over the fence to the right you have a splendid view of the Liffey Valley to the east, from the Sand Pits to Coronation Plantation, with a few silvery meanders of the Liffey thrown in for good measure. The summit – a rather pretentious word here – is marked by a post at O 0478 1398. Surprisingly, there seems to be no vestige of our megalithic past on this hill, even though it is overshadowed by nearby Sorrel and Seefin.

If your retrace your steps to the shoulder, it is possible to give a bit of circularity to your walk by taking the track that leads into the forest to your right. Branch off at the first broad forest ride you meet on your left and you emerge onto the NW slope of Sorrel, from where you can easily contour over to Lugnagun and complete the circuit back to your starting point.
Point C: O043 108 Point D: O044 129

A top that should be left to peak baggers
by Harry Goodman  14 Jul 2012 I climbed this hill on 29 March 2012 parking at the forest entrance O 0439714743 (Point E). I followed the track for about 100m to where it turned sharply left and turned off it to the right to follow along a cleared area between the trees to the boundary fence where I turned left uphill through the trees. As this is a mature forest progress was quite straightforward up to a point just beyond a small clearing, near some large rocks, where the trees became smaller and more dense making the way forward much more difficult. I therefore crossed the fence O 0468414051 (Point F) on to open ground and followed this up along the forest edge. Initially I climbed over some large rocks and then over heather, peat and stoney ground to another fence. Once across I followed the forest edge a short way to the top marked by a stout post atop a small raised stone ditch or cairn (see photo). While the view N was blocked by the trees there were views E to the high Dublin/Wicklow tops including Kippure Dublin's highest point. I returned by way of ascent except I did not re-enter the forest but continued down over the open ground to the road.. Although I had to cross a number of fences lower down this was greatly facilitated by stones to help the step overs. At first sight I had consided using this line for my ascent and not go into the forest but, viewed from the road the way ahead appeared to be blocked by thick yellow clumps of prickly whin bushes and I therefore changed my mind. In effect these were not a problem on the descent and a climb up from the road along the forest edge would have been quite feasible. In all a walk of 1.7k easily coverd in under an hour. In all honesty this is a hill for peak baggers and has little else to commend it especially as it has nearby the much more accessible, higher and finer viewing platform of Sorrell Hill. In my case it was the second of three isolated tops being sought out on that day.
Point E: O04397 14743 Point F: O04684 14051

Picture: White stick at the summit
by wicklore  14 Jul 2008 I was tired and sunburnt when I parked at the forestry track and barrier at O 045 147 to bag the last of Sundays 6 Hill target list. I followed the track for a few mins before turning right and striking my way bravely into the Blair Witch forest. I calculated that I would reach the summit in 15 minutes. Despite the forest's best efforts I emerged scratched and gasping 25 minutes later. A lot of time was spent re-routing around clumped trees with wicked spear-like branches just waiting to rip and burst through walking gear and body parts. I was feeling negative when I finally burst through to the 'summit'. The photo shows this fine hilltop in all its glory marked by the white stick mentioned by walker_hollick and csd. Then I discovered the easy path back down through cleared land just to the west of the summit. Follow this down to the fence, turn back into the forest and straight down to reach the forest track in a few minutes. Any other route up this hill would be more straight forward I'm sure. But where's the adventure in that?

by walker_hollick  9 May 2007 I climbed this from a forest entrance reference O 148 044 (Point G). Walked up the forest track to its end,
then had to bash my way through some fairly densely planted trees to reach the summit. This appears to be marked by a pole just outside the forest, although looking from a distance the true top may be just inside the plantation. Followed this up by climbing Sorrell Hill, then back along forest tracks and quiet roads to the start.
Point G: O148 044

Picture: Summit area with Seefin & Seefingan in the background.		  
by csd  18 Jun 2007 I parked at the entrance to the forest track at O055 138 (Point H), and gained the summit after a brisk 45 minute walk to the top. I followed forest tracks most of the way, breaking out onto open ground at the felled section near the saddle between Sorrel Hill and Ballynatona. Note that sheet 56 isn't 100% accurate, as the track shown heading north towards the summit is partially blocked and almost grown over. Lovely views of the Mullaghcleevaun - Carrigvore group, as well as Seefn and Seefingan (where the summit tombs are visible on a clear day). Agree with Walter in that the stick beside the forest (not very visible in my pic) appears to mark the summit.
