Did this on the last good day of summer, wearing shorts - big mistake. The trig stands like a lighthouse on an island of brambles. It's only a few yards of brambles into the trig, and there is a path, of sorts, through the thorns but it's a path less travelled so the briars reach out and sting. I had a stick so was able to beat back some of the triffid-thorns but not all.
Two hours later my legs were still stinging! Wear your iron leggings if you want to stand at the trig. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1291/comment/23643/
