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. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/92/comment/3460/

Having traversed down Corrigs shoulder towards Seefingan through some quite boggy terrain and keeping well to the left of the granite blocks which mark the perimeter of the Kilbride Rifle Range, we started the ascent to the summit just as cloud covered the mountain. My two fellow hikers and I kept to the well worn track until we reached the summit.We then turned right still following the track to the huge cairn. Having been to Newgrange and marvelled there I was equally enthralled at this ancient site. While Seahan had some cairns and I have seen quite a few, this cairn was different in its setting and its magnitude. We were consulting our map and compass when a grey haired jogger appeared in the mist like a hermit monk of old to point out the way to Seefin in the cloud. We ventured south west as per Paddy Dillon and our very fit sage to be passed enroute to Seefin by two lads on motor bikes! That old saying came to mind...
