Sat 26th Sep 09: We decided a 2 hour drive warranted a decent walk and therefore didn't use the mountain tracks. We parked on the B134 at about J00601950 B.Lots of houses about and plenty of space for a couple of cars. We had an unwilling walker who remained with the 2 cars and read her book. She was approached a few times and told about cars being vandalised here regularly and it frightened her. Anyway, the 4 of us were happy the cars would be safe! We took a straight route to the summit but this involved diabolical terrain , herds of goats, and 2 descents!! Also within yards of entering the forest we almost had a cliff to climb. It was only a few metres but extremely steep. After this the only difficulty was that we had a lot of heather and gorse which was thigh high in places. Luckily as we neared the top we met 3 lovely climbers who told us we were near the top and could follow the path down. The mist had just descended so our view was gone before we got to the top. The passage tomb is fantastic and we did enjoy the day immensely. The steep bit was even trickier on way down. Whole thing took us 3 hours...
