[RWD version 1 ]
Take a look at the saw tooth of the first two thirds, this was a helter-skelter of interesting routes avoiding the top on forest edge paths mostly, which seemed to take in every minor valley available! Returning the weather became sunny and warm along the tops.
Views on the edge.
We got a great view of the North Prison of Lugnaquilla.
Along the ridge on way back we enjoyed great views on the well lit ridge. Boggy underfoot.
Church Mountain left, and the somewhat dour Corriebracks to the right.
Just as we went past Lobawn another group appeared on the top of the Sugarloaf over Newpark Glen. The backdrop rising ground to the left is Mount Leinster in the Blackstairs.
Wool dump.
A curious thing we noticed on the way down way wool. First, on long stretches of wire fencing and then later in a dump. Haven't seen that before.
Overall this is an interesting and different route.
