Djouce on Mullaghanattin August 2022
by Djouce  21 Aug 2022
We considered the ascent from Ballaghbeama Gap too steep to be safe. So, we started from about V766776 starA where there is a small parking place. We headed up the slope. The ground was very rough particularly at the start - lots of holes and tussocks - then onto East Top and the summit. This took about 90 minutes. Afterwards we continued along the ridge to Beann and descended over rough ground towards Tooreennahone (close to point A in the short summary). We met a farmer who was happy to give us permission to cross his land Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/58/comment/23625/
