This walk commenced at the entrance to Altbritain Forest IC70607 00374 with the purpose of exploring a few of the Sperrin’s less visited 400+ metre hills. First up though was Mullaghaneany via Altbrittain forest track on a bright but frosty Sunday morning. The track, which is currently undergoing widening, makes for a reasonable easy start to the walk. Reaching the T-Junction after about 1.8K we turned left following the track the short distance to its end before working our way up Mullaghaneany’s fairly steep eastern flank onto its summit. The top, as with many in the Sperrins is fairly non-descript but the views, especially on the day in question, were quite spectacular in the early morning winter sunshine.. The stillness of the morning was evident from the reflection of the trees on the surface of Lough Fea some distance to the south-east. Despite all the recent wet weather the ground was holding up well, a fact I also noted on a sortie over Dart, Sawel and the High Sperrins a few weeks ago. From the summit our next target Meenard was clearly in view Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/234/comment/2607/
