In search of the elusive "pole", a truly ripping yarn !
by Harry Goodman  19 Aug 2010
Having read three5four0's comments about "the pole" I went in search of it on 11 August 2010 as my intended route to this hill but to no avail !! I drove E up the Gortinure Road from New Buildings and then left C422121 starA on to the Kittybane Road on the west side of the hill but could not spot the "pole". I therefore decided to park at, but not blocking access to, a farm lane on the left at C4270613190 starB. There was no one at home but a lady passing told me she did not think there would be any problem with where I was parked. I crossed the road and once over a farm gate went uphill keeping the fence line to my right and followed it up over several fences to the top which, as three5four0 had advised, was a meeting point for a three way wall/fence junction C4341212790 starC. Before descending by my route of ascent I went out a short distance NW to a small ring contour for a better view down over the Foyle and to the Donegal Highlands and Bluestacks beyond. I could not say I enjoyed this climb as the clambering over barbed wire fences became quite tedious and made even more so by seiously ripped trousers!! Total distance up and down was 1.8k completed easily within 45 minutes. Once back at my car and driving along the Kittybane Road I passed double metal gates to my left and just inside a single thick post on its own and not part of any fence line. Had I at last found three5four0's elusive "pole". It was at C4265813036 starD and only about 200 metres from my starting point. Sod's law reigns supreme! Clondermot Hill, Slievekirk and Gortmonly Hill can all be climbed quite comfortably, with not too much driving, on the same afternoon or morning. For links see my comments on each of the other hills.
