Height of Glendoo
by simon3  13 May 2022
Yes, the position was changed after a new assessment of where the top is and a survey measurement.. However, following some comment there is a suggestion that the old top or somewhere near it was higher. Since the area is so flat the only way of resolving this is to survey the old top and one of these days we will do that. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/303/comment/23512/
