Remote, challenging Carn.
Short Summary created by Colin Murphy  8 May 2023
Croaghbarnes is a fairly remote summit that requires a 11-12km round trip to do in isolation. On approach is from point G97259 87055 starA, next to some disapidated farm buildings, where there is parking for a couple of cars. Follow the meandering track to the NE where it will eventually come alongside a stream and some ancient machinery, which may have been involved in flood control. After that the track deteriorates to a muddy trail, but continues to a point where the stream forks at G98487 88831 starB. Follow the fork to the left, crossing the stream where you can (crossing points are not plentiful) and when near Lough Belshade ascend the steepish slope to the NE. Alternately, at the point where the river forks, continue up the valley to the NE for a further 2 km and ascend via a slightly less steep grassy slope to G99532 90173 starC, then turn SW for 500m back along the rocky ridge.
