re: Ireland's Iconic Mountain
Guys, does it take an Englishman to point out the bleedin' obvious? Surely it's Croagh Patrick? Look at the facts:
- It's the only mountain I've climbed where I was able to buy a fridge magnet at the end
- the Saw Doctors sing about it in Green and Red of Mayo;
"From its rolling coastal waters
I can see Croagh Patrick's peak
Where one Sunday every Summer
The pilgrims climb the reek
Where Saint Patrick in his solitude
Looked down across Clew Bay
And with a ringing of his bell
Called the faithful there to pray"
- It's referenced in Father Ted;
"It's a big mountain. You have to take your socks off and you go up it. When you get up to the top there they chase you all the way back down with a big plank. It's great fun!" |

Aidand's directions are spot on. The road that looks like an entrance to a house actually leads into a forest, it is rough but manageable if you drive very slow. I drove as far as an old abandoned... |

You can start at Ballaghisheen, a mountain pass V671 792. Space here for 3-4 cars. Ballaghisheen is at just over 300m so the climb to the top at around 551m is not a great strain. There is a sign ... |

Nothing to add to simon3's directions. Like quite a few of the hills in North Tipperary, this one is through a Coilte forest track to begin with and then the tough push through some horrible groun... |
