Walked from Glenealo due west to Lobawn and down into Donard. Fantastic walk going from summit to summit. Great views of Lug and right across the Glen of Imaal. Erosion in places is becoming more apparent-quads mainly. Conifers also starting to propagate naturally- at least they will be softer on the landscape than the plantations down below Trackback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/222/comment/1936/
