COMMENTS for Barr na Coilleadh of 1

by Big-Foot 24 May 2009 This is an easy summit to reach; you can almost drive all the way to the top. I took a minor road out of Poll an Tomais, turning on to it at approx F 826 360 (Point A). Drive for about 1.5km, until the road gets rough and is only a dirt track. I drove on and had to reverse back about 500m, so its best to park at the wide patch where the road effectively ends. There is a wide dirt track from the road, right up to F 81370 37517 (Point B). Turned west here, straight for the summit at F 81061 37491 (Point C). Good views of Broad Haven Bay, and the pipeline at Rossport...Whole walk only took about 30minutes to complete. If you want to ignore the private property signs, you could drive up the IAA road to the radar station from the other side of the hill.

Point A: F826 360

Point B: F81370 37517

Point C: F81061 37491
