P.S.
“Today we are in the beautiful highlands of Neverland. To the West, the Lakes of Wine, East, the Marshes of Mallow and rising dramatically behind us, the Mountains of Molehill. And it is from here today we bring you our working-dog trials. Will they separate the sheep from the goats? Dhmiriam is a fine animal, slight, perfectly formed and skilful. But is she skilled enough to gather up these flockers? “Bah,” says one: “GPS Indeed!” “Bah,” says another: “Map and Compass indeed!” Can they be lifted from the far bog, driven and penned in our allotted span? Don’t miss tomorrow same time, same place “Pigs can fly”. And dhmiriam’s off on the outrun. “Come by, come by,” but wee davie has shed from the flock. He seems to be navigating by the stars - and what’s this? Now he’s eating grass! Tch and there goes padodes too; she’s heading all the way back down the track to lesson 1. Oh no - now Simon - had enough snapping at his flanks and he’s just taken off. Should be OK though - we can track his chip from the space station. And so they are scattered to the 4 corners of the Earth: Sorth, Nouth, Weast and Est.”Anyone want a Garmin Summit secondhand? In this wild and stormy jaunt up the hill and down it, you may sometimes be lost …. and sometimes found. If you think a GPS can do it for you, one's yours for free to find out. Apply to Bleck Cra …… once I’ve finished off this sheep. |

The famous side of Slieve Beg is the NE, gashed by the Devils Coachroad. However the SE side also has its drama.Taken on a frosty slippy day from Cove. |

Summit Summary
Dromderalough NE Top: Long route from the south. |
 Collaborative entry Last edit by: Colin Murphy 2 days ago.
Not normally done in isolation, this top usually forms part of a walk involving Dromderalough itself or Mangerton. One approach is from the north, which has the advantage of a gently rising track ... |

Colin Murphy 2 days ago.
On my approach to the summit I came across a large field of hundreds of these rather striking formations, which I think are are moss-covered boulders, but which looked like giant green ant-hills o... |

Naweeloge Top: Meh |
magnumpig 6 days ago.
I followed Sandmans instructions - thanks for those - it's a bit of a time consuming and boring climb, and the views from the top arent great. I wouldnt prioritise it if you have time constraints ... |
