Inishbofin summit
by Wilderness  6 Aug 2017
The summit is in the middle of the island and is easy to access. There is a trail leading to the top on the south and east sides but you can also make your own way up. I got to the top by walking ,off trail, from the west side; it was a little marshy in places! There is also another nice hill worth climbing located on the west end of the island: L513 655 A. It must be roughly the same height as Middlequarter Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/2211/comment/19629/
