The perfect antidote to cabin fever!

This is a pleasant enough short walk into an unfrequented part of Connemara. Looking at the map, there is a track which appears, from the road anyway, to be suitable for a mountain bike. I was only able to cycle around 5-600 metres. I left the bike at A (L92988 39436).
The views are really good, although the haze reduced visibility somewhat.
Parking is available beside the GAA grounds at the turnoff for Rosmuc at B (L92806 38552) Linkback: mountainviews.ie/summit/1257/comment/17578/
