Geokaun: Drive time

Summit Comment TommyV 4 days ago
Nothing to add on the directions as its very straight forward. The weather turned just as we drove to the summit so we didn't even get to do the short looped walk.

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. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/261/comment/4337/
