Douglas Top: Good views from so-so top.

Summit Comment Colin Murphy 5 days ago
Douglas Top doesn't have too many redeeming features, unless you count the ease with which it is bagged, but among them is the fine view to the north west of Slemish, standing in splendid iso...

Knockboy: Leap of faith.

The View North
by CaptainVertigo  7 Jun 2016
One of the features of the ridge walk from Knockeirky to Knockowen over Cushnaficulla is the view north to Kenmare Creek. The middle of the photo shows Coomeenbaun . To the left can be seen the slopes of Knockowen running north east. The bay/inlet behind Knockowen is Kilmakilloge Harbour (the village of Lauragh is obscured from view)
The mountains in mid picture before Kenmare Creek are Knockatee on the left (330) and Knockanoughanish on the right (386).
The views south are equally magnificient.
I had walked from Nareera over rough country, so the ridgeline of the Cork/Kerry border came as a relief. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/287/comment/18572/
