New path damage from scramblers in last 2 months
by Bunsen7  23 Apr 2022
Used the track up Ballineddan twice so far this year, on the second occasion I noticed seemingly fresh bike damage.

Came across a broken gate which now has barbed wire strewn across it and a sign asking walkers to call Gardai in Baltinglass if any quads/scramblers are seen on the mountain.

The same sign alleges that owners of quads/scramblers broke down the gate in order to access the mountain. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/189/comment/23493/
