Easier route

by JohnRea 14 May 2022

Parked at the entrance R2483590154 star

D and walked the forest road to R2495689664 star

E and we then went east along the forest road and went south through the mature forest towards the trig point. Half way between the road and the trig point there is a significant swart of wind fallen trees that proved difficult to navigate, we had scramble over some and crawl under others. For the return we found a much easier route going west and then north.

I recommend parking at R2483590154 star

D, following forest road to R2495689664 star

E and then the line of the trees south until you see/meet the forest boundary ditch around R25048944 star

F, follow that east and you cant miss the trig point. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1306/comment/23513/
