Hard work - for a twisty tree!
by paddyhillsbagger  6 Aug 2015
If it wasn't for eamonc's directions I doubt I'd make it to the top. A lot of forest bashing is required to reach the top which has no views! List tickers only - or masochists. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1141/comment/18232/
