Alpine foothills in N. Mayo!

by Jamessheerin 14 Jun 2012 Parked at L851 751 (Point A) (good space for 2 cars) and first climbed to L851 740 (Point B) (the unnamed peak 388m, SW of Knockakishaun) to make the day longer! Some rough ground up and down on this one. So, on to Knockakishaun (390m). After crossing the Bunowen river at L863 743 (Point C) we headed N. atop the steep ridge and on to the spot hight 390 on generally very good ground. Some great glacial errata along the way before the 300m contour. Well worth the effort, the snow topped Sheefrys, Mweelrea and C. Patrick in close proximity giving an alpine foothills feeling!

Point A: L851 751

Point B: L851 740

Point C: L863 743
