Picture: Slievebaun from the south.

Coming from the south.

We set out from S80912 40986 star

A hoping to find a route that would include Slievebaun into a longer route along the southern Blackstairs to White Mountain with a return to the starting place.
If you look at the photo, you can see a white spot in the distance just left of centre. It's to the left of a tongue of dark green forestry extending from the right of the picture.
This white spot is part of a water works, one of a number in the area. We went towards it, but found the going to there and then to Slievebaun to be on difficult terrain, with stretches of unclear access. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/637/comment/23763/
