Straight forward bag.
by TommyV  5 Jul 2019
Straight forward out and back route on a Coilte track to the masts at the top. Make sure to take the track to the left at W13586 53096 starC as this is the one that leads to the summit but if you weren't aware it does look like continuing straight on is the way as the correct track had a felled tree.
