Cousane Gap approach

by conorb 19 Apr 2021

Parked near the excellent information sign at the Cousane Gap and then picked up a lovely boreen heading NW on the Bantry side of the Gap.
Unfortunately, there was a lot of fly tipping in the wood by the boreen for a few hundred meters that ruined the first part of our run. Dropped down to a little bridge, then took a boreen heading NE and the mountain came into view.

Just before a farmyard, we picked up a track and we were on the mountain. It was fairly straightforward to pick a line towards the ridge and from there we followed a fence until we got to the top. It's fairly flat along the top ridge so we kept an eye on our watches until we got the best candidate for the peak. We then crossed the fence and eventually picked up a track that brought us down to the R585.

Overall a nice loop despite the fly-tipping and I don't think it would be too difficult to bag the main Shehy Mór top from this side either. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/661/comment/22936/
