Handy Photo
by Pepe  7 Apr 2024
Thanks to High-King for uploading that photo of the forestry barrier with the recommended path to the left. Once I arrived at the forestry gate I know from the photo that I was in the correct spot to start. Wasn't sure which of the three sets of masts marked the top so visited all three. Luckily the cattle were all on the other, western, side of the fence that runs along the summit area. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1194/comment/24173/
