One to forget or, better still, ignore!

The only justification I can offer for "climbing" this hill is that in doing so I completed my list of the MV tops for Keenaght. It has nothing going for it. There is very little height gain and once at the "top" there was nothing to commend my being there apart from helping a peak bagger to tick it off on his MV list and move on. From the start point A (C50357 16815) I followed the left edge of a field up to where a raised ditch, topped by a wire fence, went off at a right angle to my approach. The high point of the hill lay in a large grassy field on the other side of the ditch. Up and back took. less than 15 minutes. Linkback: mountainviews.ie/summit/1320/comment/17887/

Not much of a walk
by Aidy

Pleasant (not dramatic) views, but for hill walkers, barely qualifies as a walk, let alone a hill. Linkback: mountainviews.ie/summit/1320/comment/17932/

In defence of Gortnessy...well, slightly

Harry Goodman is fundamentally right about the relative lack of merits of Gortnessy Hill...it'll never be worth a specific visit. But it's quite nice in late summer if you happen to be passing... Linkback: mountainviews.ie/summit/1320/comment/17895/
