ahendroff on Mullaghanattin, 2008
by ahendroff  17 Apr 2008
29 Apr 2006. A day I'll never forget. Finished the walk under the moonlight after a full day's bagging Beann NE Top, Mullaghanattin, Beann , Beann South Top, Beann West Top, Finnararagh, Coomanassig and Coomura. Splendid walk. Splendid horseshoe around Cloon. One of its summits cast a spell on me, Mullaghanattin. No other mountain in Ireland is shaped like it. A perfect 3D triangle which HAS to be climbed in life. Savor the views from the top. It's one of the best you can ask for in Ireland. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/58/comment/3048/
