Fair Mountain: Spiky forest

Summit Comment simon3 2 days ago
Fair Mountain has forestry. Not a particularly strange remark for a mountain in Wicklow where much of the uplands are covered in trees. But what makes this place unusual is the almost decorat...

Picture: Lobawn from Sugarloaf		  
Nice ridge walk with great views
by michaelseaver  12 May 2023
Lobawn should probably get more love. On a clear day the ridge from Pinnacle to Lobawn and on to Sugarloaf offers great panoramas. In particular there are seldom-seen views of Lugnaquilla's North Prison and south as far as Mount Leinster.

Park at the forestry track S 95540 95608 starA and head along the tracks and open ground for Pinnacle. You can now follow the ridge along to Lobawn and either head on to Table Mountain West Top or veer south towards Sugarloaf. A steep descent from Sugarloaf brings you back to the forest where you can follow the tracks back to your car. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/222/comment/23948/
