Choose your peat hag!
by paddyhillsbagger  15 Oct 2023
Climbed on an absolutely gorgeous October morning from the SE route. Stunning views all around. The flat boggy area at the summit was no problem for my wellies. Chose this peat hag as the top as it appears other climbers have added stones to it over time. There is a lone fence post nearby as well as a functioning well kept fence to the North keeping the sheep cordoned in. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/299/comment/24061/
