The easiest approach due to erosion
by dmcdevitt  20 Nov 2011 Point if walking from Corrig mountain to Seefingan, The ground now has been badly damaged from motor bikes especially after the heavy rain fall in october and you may find it difficult to walk on. I approached this mountain from Seefin as part of the Seefingan Circuit. This approach may be easier, If you want to examine the Seefingan Circuit have a look at link as it give you an idea of the length of time it take complete the summits along the route. http://www.sports-tracker.com/#/workout/deckyjustdoit/b67qs9eg5um5sp0m

by sinbadw  8 Nov 2004 We made our way from Seefin over to Seefingan via a well trodden and boggy track. The surrounding countryside was obscured by the mist and we tramped on until the megalithic tomb loomed out of the mist ahead of us. Here we parted company with our companion and his terrior who were stopping off for a bit of lunch, we made our way due south with the intention of following fire-breaks down through the wood to the forrest roads, but after several dead-ends we opted to climb again to the tree-line and follow it back to the original track we took up to Seefin. One such dead end did allow me a moment in th mist with the firs looming large and vague around me and the pure silence peculiar to such weather brought me back to when my grandfather and I followed the hounds on foot, early on a Saturday morning in South Tipp, down a muddy lane and into a field where a small copse of trees would hover indistincly, and silently in the mist. Then there would be a fantastic hullabaloo as the horses and hounds thundered out of the fog followed by the ethereal silence once again as they moved on to the next draw. I am not a fan of fox hunting but I do appreciate those memories, though I was a reluctant participant at the time :-)

Picture: Seefingans Actual Summit		  
by murphysw  17 Feb 2008 Seefingan from Seefin is a pleasant enough stroll over not too boggy ground. It's tomb is about the same size as Seefin's, without any entances though. The actual summit is a bit to the east, over boggy ground, and in bad visibility, you should be looking for a triangle sign. Thats about the highest point. The views to Kippure are quite good.

by brenno  24 Nov 2008 Did the Seefin-Seefingan-Corrig-Seehan circuit on Nov 23 rd and my advice to anybody thinking of doing this handly close-to-Dublin hike is don't - at least until we get a good period of hard frost to freeze over the swampy conditions. The saddle between Seefingan and Corrig is currently an absolute swamp and very difficult going. and the stretch between Seefin and Seefingan not a lot better Noticed that the previous time we did this circuit was Dec 31st 2005 when the conditions were fine after the frost had mazde the going much easier. I'd say avoid thie cirrcuit for at least a few weeks.

Picture: Feeling on top of the world!
by Geo  7 Jun 2009 Took in Seefingan from Seefin, as I guess most people do, judging by the track across the peat and snaking up the hill. Again as with Seefin there's a lovely cairn but unfortunately you can't peek in here! The cairn isn't the summit and I couldn't exactly be sure of the exact location of it as with many hills it's quite flattish on top, and everytime you go to the highest point, some other point seems higher! Anyway this mountain has the honour of being my 29th of Ireland's highest 100! From here we made for KIppure leaving the Kilbride circuit for a while, see Kippure's entry for the next part of the walk!

Picture: View from Seefingan with tomb on Seefin and reservoir in background		  
by darrenf  26 Jul 2009 I headed for Seefingan directly from Seefin on what is a well worn track between each summit. The terrain on this stretch of the loop is particuraly soggy and it appears the track is getting wider. Navigation is not a problem between the two summits and 30mins should take you from seefin to seefingan.
