Underrated Mountain in Cork
by Musheraman  7 Mar 2022
Did this on March 1st on a lovely clear frosty morning, Parked at W17784 89018 starA, a school bus normally parks here
outside of school hours and there's space for one car behind. From here follow a track to a water tower and continue
in a south direction towards a weather station/coms mast, you will now see markers for the Duhallow Way, follow this
eastwards until Lough Murtagh comes into view, now head in a southeast direction up steep heathery ground until
reaching a tiny stone cairn marking Glanaprehane. The Summit of Caherbarnagh is now easily reached over grassy
ground marked by a trig pillar, I was very fortunate with great visability and the Paps, the Reeks and Mangerton were
very clear to the west and to my surprise I could make out the distinctive outline of Galtymore past Claragh and
Mushersmore to the east, Mullaghanish could be seen to the south.
From here I crossed over boggy ground to Stoukeen marked by a large cairn, I returned back along the same route
making a detour to Lough Murtagh. 4.5 hours Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/135/comment/23432/
