Summary
for Ballystrang :
Another windfarmed summit
Summary created by Peter Walker
25 May, 2015
Park at the foot of a windfarm access track at
B'Strang (C10914 04534), where there is adequate space. Climb over the fence by the side of the gate on the left (stones left here to facilitate the manoeuvre). Climb up the road for a few hundred metres to a turn on the left (signposted to turbines 37 and 38). Follow this turn for another few hundred metres to turbine 38; here turn right and follow an overgrown low stone dyke up an easy grass slope to the summit.The view is awash with swirling and non-swirling white blades, but a few of the higher Donegal summits poke up cheekily on the horizon.

Easy Access On Wind Farm Road
by Aidy
25 Apr 2016
The beauty of small hills like this is that even if they're not spectacular, they take little time or effort, and in cases like this are made even easier by wind farm access roads. The road here took me almost to the top, with only a short stretch of heather and grass to negotiate. I've done several small hills in Tyrone, Fermanagh, Derry and Donegal over the last few weeks as part of my local 100, and this was one of the better ones, with fairly good views around the neighbouring hills and down over Lough Swilly to Inishowen.
