Brockagh
by eamonoc  10 Mar 2011
On 3/3/2011 climbed Brockagh from Wicklow Gap road at point 095993 starF. About 2 mins from road passed old mine slag heaps and headed up behind these towards a prominent boulder on the horizon took 10mins to boulder. From this boulder took a approx 15mins to the top of Brockagh, the heather was not a difficulty as a lot of it had been burnt and this made for relatively easy going.
Following rising ground, eventually reached summit after about 25mins from road. Views in all directions were excellent, continued on to Brockagh Sth East Top due to recent dry spell this well trodden track was suprisingly dry and pleasant to walk on. Retraced outward route to car. Total time taken was 1hr 50mins. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/346/comment/6267/
