Sruffering in the mist
by Colin Murphy  30 Sep 2011 Took in this top on my return from Annatoran to Easky Lough Car Park, which only involved a 30 minute detour and an ascent of about 35m. The day being as wet, miserable and misty as is possible within the realms of things climatological,so I can report little on the views. The climb was relatively easy despite the sodden ground and I encountered no peat hags etc to impede the approach. The top is marked by a small pile of stones and I concur with Simon3's GPS reading of approximately 410m. It took just 20 minutes to return to car park from top. The prettiest view I had all day was of the large, strikingly coloured mushroom I spotted on the descent...see pic below.

by simon3  15 May 2007 This is a smallish top visible SE from the car park at Easky Lough. It's covered in heather with a steep boulder strewn (but climbable) slope towards the road and Easky Lough. According to my GPS it could be nearer 410m than the height given on the map. There's a bunch of large erratics north of it and a pond. Such excitement.

The photo taken from the summit shows the south end of Easky Lough. The slight bump on the left skyline is another 400m summit in the Ox Mountains, namely Largan Hill, while the blue peak on the right skyline is the solitary Nephin on the other side of Lough Conn., nearly lost to the Rayleigh & Mie scattering which bedevils mountain photography
