Slievebawn: Worth the short walk up, less steep turf and stone path.

We did this on roasting hot day after going up and down Mt. Leinster by road. Nice walk up. Legs welcomed the stretch and walk on turf and rock after the steep tarmac road down the bigger mountain...

Knockboy: What a location (on a fine day!)

Summit Comment hazyview 13 hours ago
The most incredible views on the drive up to Priest's Leap. Still squelchy underfoot in parts despite glorious weather. Stick to the fence: we went astray at one stage when we left it.

It would be possible to drive from Point A up to the first gate, which is only a couple of hundred metres from the top. It would be possible to park at a junction within metres of the gate. B...

Carrigalougha: There are bigger and better fish to fry nearby

Summit Comment Pepe 3 days ago
Parked at W142 717 and plodded through the boggy terrain. A short but uncomfortable trudge up and down: reeds, tall grass, rocks, dodgy footing, midges, fences, etc, etc. Up top the views are...

Parked up a lane marked in picture. Owner of house at the end of the lane was happy to let us park. Said her neighbour wasn't. Easy enough to the top

Short Summary created by simon3, Colin Murphy  1 Jun 2018
You're very unlikely to do this Arderin Beg in isolation, it being so close to a couple of Arderins, and a second Arderin Beg. Probably best approach is via the Kerry Way, Peakeen, Peakeen West Top and Peakeen NW Top. There is parking for 2/3 cars at V917752 starA. Proceed north along Kerry Way for about 1km, then turn directly west for another 800m up the steep, but quite doable eastern slope of Peakeen. Mostly rocks, grass and short heather underfoot. Proceed directly west from here across grassy/heathery col area for about 1.3km, up the West Top, about 80 metres ascent. It's only about 150m north to the North West Top and you'll barely notice the ascent. Similarly simple to reach the Far North West Top, which lies about 200m to the NE. A large boulder marks the highest point. Car to summit, about 2.5 hours. Amazing panoramas. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1462/comment/18090/
