Douglas Top doesn't have too many redeeming features, unless you count the ease with which it is bagged, but among them is the fine view to the north west of Slemish, standing in splendid iso...

New boardwalk to summit
by tony_limerick  18 Jan 2016
I hiked Moylussa on a snowy Saturday(16/01/2016) with my son Darragh(plus Buddy the dog) and was delighted to find that a boardwalk has been constructed from the end of the rocky path, across the bog to the summit stone. I don't know which organisation is responsible for this magnificent work but anyone who has previously crossed this quagmire will appreciate this facility immensely !

We took the route from Ballycuggaran woods car park to Moylussa, which has been well described by previous contributors. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/390/comment/18425/
