Track walk except mucky, mystical mossy end, with elusive trig pillar.
Short Summary created by simon3, jackill  11 Nov 2012 From Inistioge, turn left at the road junction at S66946 41825 (Point A) ( sign post for Coppanagh). Take the next left (on a rough tarred road)passing a house on the right to a forest entrance , room for 2 cars.
From Graiguenamanagh take the R793 to Thomastown and turn left at the col of Coppanagh Gap. First right to start.
Follow the track uphill into the forest as far as S65255 43455 (Point B) and just beyond the apex of the bend follow a rough track southwest through a thinned area of forest out onto a track skirting the forest edge.I followed this track northwest to its highest point and then enter the forest again. The trig pillar is about 100 meters into the forest and 100 meters to the left .
There is plenty of space between the trees to reach it without impediment.
Although mucky the area has a spooky magical feel due to huge growth of moss on the ground and even on the branches of some of the trees.
Point A: S66946 41825 Point B: S65255 43455

by oldsoldier  25 Jan 2010 I took on Coppenagh as it is on my list of local 100's. It was the 23 jan, heavy fog abounding. I approached from Inistioge, turned left at the road junction at S66946 41825, there is a sign post for coppenaghon the right. At the next left junction I parked my cark by backing it up slightly into a field entrance. Parking for two cars here without impediment. I followed the road up into the forest and when I came to a gate with galvanise sheets I went out of the forest and onto the mountain. At approximately 300 metres I walked out of the fog into glorious sunshine and a view for which to die. Brandon hill, the Blackstairs and Slievenamon were poking their tops out of the cloud, some still have drifts of snow. could not find the trig point as it is wholly surrounded by dense forest, did not want to delay too long as I wished to Walk brandon hil on the same day
