There is a “new” forest track leading all the way to Knocknalougha South Top.
Having noted eamonoc’s advice re car break-ins at S 03061 09959 starA car park I decided to park at Crow Hill car park R 983 089 starE. I then followed the Adandhu Way from the West rather than the East. As did previous contributors, I made the last 200m of my way to Knocknalougha South Top from the north by fumbling through the pine trees. I had taken the precaution of wearing an OLD waterproof jacket as it is not a route for your Sunday best. I was covered in moss, twigs and pine needles when I reached the little pile of stones which marked the “summit” at 01934 08521 starF F This grid reference in the text is shown as point star on the Detail Map above'>S01934 08521 starF starF and was surprised to see that it was at the end of a huge wide track that headed south west. Further investigations revealed that this track can be accessed from the Avandhu way by heading south at S01386 08995 starG and the new track appears to the south east at S0108 0843 starH and can be followed all the way to Knocknalougha South Top, S 01934 08521 starF. This track can be easily seen using the Satellite facility on Google Maps Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1464/comment/19717/
