Undertook the Seefingan/Kilbride Circuit taking in Seahan, Corrig, Seefingan and Seefin on Sat 15 Oct 2016. I had surmised that these must be the higher summits I can see clearly beyond Saggart Hill when looking south east from Celbridge in Kildare.

A description of this circuit is set out in Helen Fairborne's book published by Collins Press.

The "paths" from the west-side road up to Seahan and also up to Seefin were less paths on this morning and more streams. I started to undertake the circuit clockwise but found the initial stretch of the Seahan path impassably waterlogged. Thinking that it might be better to descend that way after a few more hours of drainage I resolved to undertake the circuit anticlockwise and walked back down the road towards Seefin .However, I arrived at the path up Seefin (along the forest at the southern end of the boundary of the firing range) to find it similarly resembled a strong flowing stream. Concluding that I just had to get my feet wet to get anywhere I went onwards and upwards.

Wet conditions underfoot continued between Seefin and Seefingan and on ward to Corrig, and around to Seahan. Somebody has thankfully dropped a plank over part of the bog between Corrig and Seahan. Back down from Seahan to the road was waterlogged towards the end but I was well accustomed to spongey wet feet at that point.

Others have described the highlights of this circuit better than I could. To retiterate the point made by others, doing this after a spell of consistently dry weather might make the trek that bit more enjoyable. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/200/comment/18658/
