Climbed Knockmealdown today,parking at the car park above bay lough near the Vee just after two stone buildings,one either side of the road,the one on the left has a statue of Our Lady beside it.Crossing the road and heading NE up a rough stony track beside the county boundary wall all the way to the summit of Sugarloaf hill.I found this to be a steep energy sapping climb over loose rock and certainly got the heart pumping.From here the going was easier,down off sugarloaf following the boundary wall SE and up two gentle climbs before making the ascent on Knockmealdown itself.Super views NW to the Galtees and back towards the Comeraghs.On the way back I crossed over to Knockmoylan marked as spot height 768 before descending to the col below sugarloaf,not wishing to tackle the steep descent over loose rock from Sugarloaf I picked up a track heading downhill SW which brought me out onto the road at Glentaunemon bridge and a short walk back along the road to the car.Time taken 2 hrs 41 mins,distance 9.36 km,ascent 710m,descent 740 m.
