Douglas Top: Good views from so-so top.

Summit Comment Colin Murphy a week ago
Douglas Top doesn't have too many redeeming features, unless you count the ease with which it is bagged, but among them is the fine view to the north west of Slemish, standing in splendid iso...

Simple ascent to unremarkable Carn with great views.
Short Summary created by Colin Murphy  4 Sep 2023
There is parking for a couple of cars at G44616 20600 starA. Cross the flattish area of tussocky grass to the east, and after about 400m you will start ascending up a mostly grassy, steepish slope interspersed with boulders and rocky outcrops. The slope eases around 380m around G45261 20104 starB, and the grass is replaced by heather-covered peat. From here the highpoint is some 300m SE, and you will have to negotiate some peat hags to reach it. The summit is a nondescript area of slightly raised, heather-covered peat mounds. Allow 1.5 hours up and down. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/658/comment/5417/
