Bruse Hill: Bruse Summer 2017

Summit Comment TommyMc 11 hours ago
Since a big gorse fire in 2016, this hill is once more easily accessible to casual walkers and has been widely visited this summer. An easy approach is possible by taking the L6636 minor road off ...

Belmore Mountain: A standing stone gathers all moss.

Summit Comment TommyV a day ago
As mentioned by Harry Goodman, it's possible to drive along Belmore forest for almost two kilometers as far as a black forestry gate. There is also a standard gate here on the right giving access ...

Brougher Mountain: A quick bag.

Summit Comment TommyV a day ago
Nothing much to add to the comments already. Drove most of the way up from the North side of the hill to within 450 metres of the trig point. Nothing to recommend to anybody who is looking to get ...

Slievereagh: To drive or not to drive?

Summit Comment TommyV 4 days ago
Geo's directions are spot on. At the aforementioned Coilte forest entrance there is a sign staing no unauthorized vehicles beyond this point as the gate may close at any point. However as the Lazy...

Summit Comment TommyV 4 days ago
Nothing to add to the directions provided by melohara. Just to mention two things, the parking place was littered with close to a hundred empty beer cans, it looks like there was a party there or ...

Camlough Mountain: Army Dreamers

Summit Summary Collaborative entry Last edit by: Peter Walker 6 days ago
Relatively recent history has liberated Camlough Mountain from the bonds of the military: some metallic paraphernalia remains high on its slopes but if one puts that aside it's a cracking little e...

Carrigshouk: Accessible but not necessarily easy.

Summit Comment IainT 6 days ago
Although Carrigshouk is very close to a road it's quite a rough little walk, with deep heather, boulders, scrub and the remants of old tree planting. The worst of this can be avoided by parking ea...

Tievnabinnia: One of Ireland's highest waterfalls ?

Summit Comment David-Guenot a week ago
I thought I'd share this pic I took while exploring the summit area of Tievnabinnia E Top recently. This amazing waterfall cascades down the SE slopes of Tievnabinnia. The OSI map suggests it woul...

The Uí Chinnsealaigh were the dominant Gaelic family in this area and the mountain gets the fuller version of its name from them. This helps to distinguish it from Croaghanmoira, which is a little further north.   Croghan Kinsella is the 273rd highest place in Ireland.

I climbed this with superterence. Looking at the aerial photographs in TrailMaster would have helped us plan our route better than relying on the maps for forest and track outlines. Trackback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/261/comment/4337/
