Mullaghanoe: Forest harvesting and mast compound

Summit Comment TommyV 2 days ago
The route already mentioned seems to be the only logical way to approach this very bland hill. I drove as far as far as a forest barrier and even though it was open I still decided to walk fr...

Benbo: A small but interesting Hill

Summit Summary Collaborative entry Last edit by: Colin Murphy 2 days ago
Park at G860366, forestry entrance gate. Walk NE for about 200 metres and as the road swings left look for an entrance on to a muddy lane bounded on each side by a corrugated iron sheet. As o...

Quick easy bag
by Fergalh  24 Mar 2014
Take first right after Foxford station, than proceed up road at school turn left to point G24212 06530 starA beside house there is room for one car to park. Proceed up ridge than drop down through field and back up next ridge to summit.

Always ask landowner permission to cross land, never ever damage fences and beware of livestock. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1356/comment/15938/

For such a small hill you get some great views of Lough Conn and Nephin. As this was early on Sat morning i decided not to annoy any one looking for permission to access the summit via the shortest route.Parking at G2342307395 starB allowed me access thru the forest firstly over a vehicle tract and at end of same bearing left and after a few meters to an old firebreak which brought me to forest boundry handrail to summit ridge and with no fences to navigate walk the short distance to summit G2419406944 starC. This may be a private forest but having spoken to a couple out with there dogs the owners have no problems with walkers. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1356/comment/17660/
