Longish walk up windfarm road.
Short Summary created by Colin Murphy  29 Apr 2024
Mulnanaff is reached via a longish walk of about 10km return, mostly along windfarm tracks. There is parking for a couple of cars at a forestry entrance at G70138 81131 starA. Cross over gate and walk up as far as a T-junction then turn right. Continue along gently rising gravel track to G68298 82971 starB. At this point you are at 440m elevation. Leave track turning west onto open hillside, dropping down to a col about 20m below. You will see a fence winding up the slope and curving around to the south. Follow this for about 700m, which will take you to the high point - a grassy/heathery mound on the west side of the fence with a couple of stones on top. You can combine this with a walk to Crocknapeast - just 1.5km away, if you wish. Return same route. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/532/comment/5291/

From Balbane Hill IG69550 82882 there is a short drop to the windfarm service road which provides easy walking for part of the distance to the target mountain. Be careful as you approach the road as the ground immediately to it's side has not settled yet and you're likely to sink in well above the ankles. Simply follow the road up to the last windturbine and then take the relatively short drop onto marshy ground before the ascent (damp at first) to the undefined summit area. There are a number of raised areas vying for the honour of summit. Picture shows the one the GPS favours (taken a short distance away on descent north towards Crow River). A word to the wise I took a bearing directly to what appeared on the map to be a track running along the outer edge of the forest west of Crowbane IG 677 841 starC with a view to taking it down to the Carrick to Adara road. Needless to say there was no track and it was quite wet near the fence. If following this route I'd be inclined to maintain a little height for as long as possible.

With a windfarm,6 turbines, now built between Mulnanaff and Balbane Hill access to Mulnanaff is much easier now. Parking available at forestry gate at G701 811 starD and a easy walk in. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/532/comment/20809/
