A walk in the clouds.
by TommyV  17 Nov 2018
This route starts on an old forest road at Oldbridge, there is room for parking 5 or 6 cars near the top at O15162 01916 starA. From here follow the road West until you reach a gate at O14832 01892 starB. Go through here and then follow a rough track to another gate which will take you out onto the open mountain. The summit of Scarr is less than 2 kilometers West from here. To make a looped walk of this, head North West on a ridge walk of about 1.5 kilometers. Once you reach Kanturk, follow the spur East towards Lough Dan. You will join a track running South to a road which will take you back to Oldbridge and then a small walk uphill to get back to the car. The day we did this hike, the summits of both Scarr and Kanturk were enveloped in cloud and mist so I can't really comment on the views but I would imagine on a nice day you could see Glenmacnass Waterfall and extensive views of Lough Dan.
