Nice walk
by ewen  3 Jan 2017
Did this on 3/01/17 starting at Wicklow gap car park and heading up the Turlough access road to 06590 99228 starB . From there it was a quick walk to the top. The bealach between the two hills was frozen but I can see it being very boggy after rain. Returned to the road slightly further North and lower down at 06819970 starD after heading for the edge of some forestry below the road. From there I returned to thecar park.
