Picture: View's over Bantry Bay from An Cab Dubh/Cobduff		  
Don't miss An Cab Dubh on the way up
by conorb  13 Jul 2020
Started on the bog road between Glengarriff and Coomohla Bridge and picked up the small track at V 96717 54817 starC about 200m from the N71. Left the track where it intersects the Waymarked Way and continued upwards.
It's a fairly straightforward accent to An Cab Dubh/Cobduff which has fantastic views out over Bantry Bay and Glengarriff. From there it's a relatively easy hike onwards to Derroograne. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/554/comment/20814/
