Bockagh Hill: Short but Hard Bag.

Mullaghanoe: Forest harvesting and mast compound

Summit Comment TommyV a day ago
The route already mentioned seems to be the only logical way to approach this very bland hill. I drove as far as far as a forest barrier and even though it was open I still decided to walk fr...

Summit Summary Collaborative entry Last edit by: Colin Murphy 2 days ago
Park at G860366, forestry entrance gate. Walk NE for about 200 metres and as the road swings left look for an entrance on to a muddy lane bounded on each side by a corrugated iron sheet. As o...

Clare's CHP
by TommyV  25 Oct 2018
When setting myself the challenge of tackling all of Ireland's county high points, naturally the one to start with was Moylussa in my own beloved county Clare. Parking in Ballycuggaran Forest car park, a forest trail leads most of the way to the summit. Keep an eye out where to turn off right at the fire break at R66022 75422 starA as it could be missed if you are in conversation! A steep ascent at the top brings you to a boardwalk which can be followed along to the summit. This mountain has two equal high points so if you would like to take in both you must leave the comfort of the boardwalk and cross 200 meters of bog and then back again. Retrace your steps to the car park. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/390/comment/20096/
