by Geo  23 Mar 2009 From Gravale in the mist we took a bearing for Duff Hill, but found ourselves off course and glad of the GPS to locate our exact position! It never ceases to amaze me, no matter how often I'm on the hils how easy it is to stray off a bearing especially where familiar with the area and using instinct instead which always leads to a wrong turn! Anyway, no harm done as thankfully this area has no dangerous slopes but all the same its good to be given a wake up call now and again to the dangers on the hills at all times. From Gravale down across a boggy path and over the peat hags to the beginning of the tough pull up Duff. Thankfully at this point of our day the sun was starting to shine fitfully through the rising mist, the cold NW wing though meant there was no chance of removing coats! The summit has a little summit cairn, located much more easily than the one on Gravale, but better visibilty may have helped us there!

Watch out for foxes in this area as there are several dens on southern slope burrowed under great granite boulders.

by djouce  9 Nov 2003 Duff Hill can be approached from Carrigvore and Gravale in a ridge walk that takes about four hours - starting and finishing at the car park on the Military Road south of the Sally Gap. The walk can be shortened by using two cars and parking a return car at the northern edge of the woods SE of Duff Hill or lengthened by continuing on to Mullaghcleevaun and descending at Carrigshouk

MountainViews.ie Picture about mountain Duff Hill in area Dublin/Wicklow, Ireland
by csd  23 Mar 2003 Duff Hill is quite a bit steeper and "rounder" than Gravale and Carrigvore. Didn't see any foxes, but just SW of the summit are some shallow peat hags which gave respite from the breeze and a nice view over to Mullaghcleevaun. Picture shows Duff viewed while descending from Gravale. Watch out for some innocuous-looking but treacherous bogs on the route over to Mullaghcleevaun East Top - I sank up to my knees and needed assistance in pulling myself out!

by sinbadw  17 Jan 2005 Coming from Gravale into the saddle between the hills we met a group of walkers approaching from somewhere to the Northwest, exchanged nods and started up the somewhat steeper slope of Duff Hill, which was a pleasure. The steepness meant that the ground was harder and there were no trenches to climb into and out of, we made our way up quickly to the top where the wind attempted to remove the flesh from our bones. We then pointed ourselves pretty much due east to the corner of the forrest at the foot of the hill. On our way down we encountered a small herd of deer, about 10 or so, including some yearlings. About the same time we crossed paths with the group of people we had met earlier. Having reached the corner of the forrest we crossed to the north side of the stream easily enough and made our way down to the road.
