"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...

A summit with a visitors book
Short Summary created by jackill  3 Aug 2012 Park at the forestry entrance at R 70274 16868 (Point A), room for 5 cars Walk along forestry tracks turning right at a Y junction and then right again at a T junction. 10-15 mtrs from this junction follow a slightly overgrown path through trees then heather to gain the summit, a distinctive, large, rocky, conglomorate outcrop which sits on old Red Sandstone. Carrigeenamronety is also of note because of the large population on the rare Killarney Fern that grows on its slopes. It is a protected species listed in the EU habitats directive and the Flora protection order of 1999
Point A: R70274 16868

Picture: Biscuit tin with the Galtys		  
by jackill  4 Sep 2007 Carrigeenamronety (or should it be Kilcruaig?) is easily accessed from the forestry entrance at R 70274 16868. It is an easy walk along forestry tracks to gain the summit a distinctive, large, rocky, conglomorate outcrop which sits on old Red Sandstone. Carrigeenamronety is also of note because of the large population on the rare Killarney Fern the grows on its slopes a protected species listed in the EU habitats directive and the Flora protection order of 1999. This is the first mountain I have ever been to with a Visitors book. I seems to have been put there by a Sean Maloney. Browsing through the book it seems quite a few people make the journey to this summit.Its housed in a biscuit tin but Sean might like to know that all the biscuits are now gone so I was left hungry.

Alternative route
by aniedolini  7 Feb 2011 There is an alternative but slightly more challenging route to the summit. Walk a short distance from the entrance (on north side) along the forest track, looking out for a post displaying a red? arrow pointing right. Follow this along a forest path, which soon begins to climb steeply, continuing up to the summit. Castle Gale (to the east) can also be accessed by continuing along the track passing the north side of the summit and following a path in a south easterly direction - see photo. Good views of north Cork, south east Limerick, south west Tipperary and west Waterford.

There are biscuits again
by thomas_g  19 Apr 2013 I took the opportunity to put a chocolate biscuit in the biscuit box today in case Jackill is visiting again. I also found a geo-cache hidden near the trig point (they got a biscuit too).
it's a lovely view for very little effort.
Follow the looped walk markers for a very quick and direct way back down.
