Mount Eagle: Name belies the reality

Summit Summary Collaborative entry Last edit by: Colin Murphy a month ago
This is a (relatively) simple but unexciting climb partly up a windfarm track with just 65m ascent. There is parking for multiple cars at R0950 1110. You are then faced with a high (1.5m), lo...

Baraveha: Meshtastic Weather Nodes and soggy bog.

Summit Comment Colin Murphy a month ago
The lone metal pole that previously marked the highpoint of this mediocre top (also known as Knockanefune) has been joined by a curious yoke called a 'Meshtastic Weather Node,' which has a sm...

One approach is via a forest/windfarm entrance to the south at R11978 06735. Follow the forest track as far as R11926 08422, turn left onto about 30m of rough ground, enter a semi-mature fore...

Knockatee: Short but unpleasant hill

Summit Summary Collaborative entry Last edit by: Colin Murphy a month ago
Although relatively short with little ascent, part of this walk requires crossing some very rough terrain - a mixture of spongy heather and knee-high grass, along with some electrified fences...

Sorrel Hill: Ridge walk with fine views

Summit Comment hibby a month ago
We came up along the ridge from Lugnagun, and were treated to amazing views of the lakes and the surrounding mountains. Looking across the bulk of Black Hill we saw patches of snow on the upp...

Sorrel Hill: An easy walk

Summit Summary Collaborative entry Last edit by: hibby a month ago
Sorrel Hill is easily approached along the well defined track starting at the small car park at O04387 10862. The road leading up to the car park can be somewhat potholed on the higher sectio...

Not so much a comment as a picture of the summit area. This taken off yours truly during ML assessment in March of this year. The mountains in the background are the Croaghgorms (Bluestacks). Easy ascent from Crockfadda over good ground. Rock/slab strewn summit with great views as is the case for most of the tops in this range. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/472/comment/3243/
