Visited Mweelrea on Sept 27th '20. Approached from the West - started at a small trail at L76448 68822 A . I set a grid bearing of 120deg. Really boggy once you were in open mountain. Lots of little streams and places to sink in a bit. I'd advise gaiters for this hike on any day that hasn't seen only sunshine for a few weeks before. Quite a steep ascent to the col between 2 peaks L79298 67603 B - make sure not to get yourself on a very steep section or it'll just be stress trying not to slip.

Turn right when you get to the col and head up to the peak L78977 66813 C over a load of boulders. Plenty of scrambling about and keeping an eye out for the pretty steep drop off on the left!

There were a few paths here and there - some beside the river, some on the very last part before the peak. There was thick cloud cover over the peak and probably more than 2/3 of the way down the mountain - I'd suggest a compass, map and a pre-planned route if you're doing this one in poor visibility.

Overall, I enjoyed this hike. It was good navigation practice. The views over the bay were fabulous but I couldn't see anything once I got into the clouds so can't really comment on the view from the top! Took about 4.5hrs with plenty of little stops along the way. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/34/comment/20907/
