Last of the Comeraghs
by Kennyj  25 Jul 2016
Got a chance to return to the magical Comeraghs and set about tackling my last summit in the area-Carrignagower,parking at Curraheen S307154 starB and followed the waymarked White trail to the Gap,following the fence SE up the steep slope to where if veers SW allowing you to avoid a tricky vertical outcrop before returning to the fence and making the long climb up the grassy slope to the summit plateau,marked by a cairn.From here I followed the Coum edge around to the cairn at S319122 starC with good views of the boolas below.I headed NE from the cairn in order to find easy ground to descend and on reaching around 570 height I contoured back W towards the boolas or Coum Larthair lochs before stopping for lunch.From the lakes I picked up the purple waymarked trail back to the car.Distance 12.5 kms,time 3.5 hours with stops.This is a lovely circular walk offering a good degree of difficulty on both ascent and descent as well wilderness and beautiful countryside,highly reccommended.
