An adventurous walk.
by Wilderness  21 Apr 2022
I accessed this hill coming from Knocklettercuss. The terrain in-between the two hills was mostly dry and easy going.
The narrow line of forest I had to go through to get to the top of Sheean was no bother to walk through as the trees here were sparse with plenty of gaps. 895198 starC The top is relatively flat and has no cairn. The biggest mistake I made was on my decent straight towards Briska were I tried to go through the forest at 893205 starD. There is a tempting gap here going in a northeasterly direction towards the rivers and track , but the trees only get denser the further down you go. At times I had to get down on my hands and knees and crawl my way through. Eventually I saw light through the trees and reached the narrow river tributary ,very close to where it joins the much larger Owenmore river. I then followed the track out.
