What a Difference.
by sandman  29 Mar 2016
What a difference, two years ago this hill was the 900th highest on the MV list but now is outside the top 1000th. Parking in the Glengesh viewpoint G6882085959 starA and walking back up to where the fence runs uphill this will take you up quickly to the summit area. You can return by way of accent or choose as i did to continue on to Glengesh Hill. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1079/comment/18476/
