Semi-virginal climber
Hi, I'm looking for advice on where to go for a week of shanty-shanty walks in Ireland.
I'm pretty new to climbing, enjoyed a few mountains in Wicklow and Kilkenny, but
am a fairly fit runner-type person.
Now my boyfriend (a seaoned mule) has put the pressure on - he's left it up to me to organise a week walking somewhere
in Ireland in June... After reading your site I'm thinking Dingle or Benbulben. Does anyone have
any suggestions? (We're doing a 10-day proper walking holiday in Donegal in August so I can't
choose Donegal!).
Any suggestions really appreciated.
ps. LOVE this site, it's really made me want to get boggy with it! |

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... |

Scarr has three useable ridges off it, to the north, south and east. The easiest perhaps is the Glenmacnass Waterfall carpark O11380 03009 (notorious for break-ins). From here head for the north ... |
