Leave for the winter
by mcrtchly  2 Jun 2014
We visited this summit in June but found the field mentioned by Fergalh to be sown with a cereal crop and not wishing to disturb the crop we chose not to attempt an ascent. This hill is probably best left for winter or post-harvest. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1295/comment/16090/
