One km with 500m of misery.

by thomas_g 23 Jun 2012 Burren has been nagging me for a while, I kept seeing it on my profile, the closest hill to you is Burren and you haven't climbing it yet: so I did what any sensible person does, waited for a truly miserable day after several days of rain with poor visibility to 'enjoy' my trip to the top.
Being an avid student of the interweb - I found an interesting track from the north that promised a mere 700m of walking to bag my closest hill. Starting at the Burren power track at W38078 79548 (Point B) (loads of room to park), I spent 5 mins being very pleased with myself that I'd found a easy way up on what was a pretty unpleasant day, then the track missed the summit and kept going - that wasn't in the plan. So there was nothing for it but set the GPS and head straight for the summit: 25 minutes of misery pushing through soaking wet, knee and sometime waist-high prickly bushes later, I finally found the trig point. If you must do it this way (I assume Jackills way is easier) I suggest you turn off the track at W38004 79020 (Point C) and head up a steep track, when the track stops by the power poles, put on your gaiters and head almost due west - enjoy!
The upside: the 2km round trip took about an hour and warm tea cures all.
Update: Now my profile says closest unclimbed: Coolsnaghtig, Jackill says "a high point in the bog next to an overturned tree stump" - oh joy...

Point B: W38078 79548

Point C: W38004 79020
