Summary for Ballydorgan : Quick bag
Summary created by thomas_g 24 Mar, 2014
Access is via a paved track from the south, this track crosses farmland to a reservoir. Access to the trig point is via a farm field and some scrubby ground. Views are good from the top, the Galtys in particular.
I spoke to the farmer who's land the track crosses, while the trig point is not on his land, he did not foresee any access issues.

Followed Thomas_G's instructions and this turned out to be a short bag on a sunny day. Always nice to see a trig pillar on any hill Linkback: mountainviews.ie/summit/1318/comment/20928/
