I climbed this one yesterday (3rd December 2007) from the car park at Bunglas. At this time of the year and with the weather in a less than perfect state I had the hill pretty much to myself. It was a challenging walk with the conditions and I didn't make it as far as the trig on Slieve League but I still had a very enjoyable 4 hour walk to the plateau above Kerringear.

Due to the weather conditions I took the lower, less adventurous but not particularly easy path that branches off just past Cnoc Ramhar at G559 773 C to meet up with The Pilgrim's Path from Teelin at G559 777 D. No photographs today despite sometimes pleasant views as I managed to lose my camera at some stage while wandering around the top and the ruined Church!

It looks like the path from Bunglas is to get some much needed help as the entire route is marked out with red marker posts and there is some work currently under way at the car park and a new viewing platform nearby. Hopefully the new path won't be as regimented as the steps up to Scregeighter (308m) which to me is the most difficult and tedious section of the entire walk.

Hi Dino. Is this your first/only slog up Slieve League? If so, I hope you'll try it again in better weather. I've done it maybe 4 times, from Bunglas and from Malinbeg. Despite the overused path between Bunglas and Cnoc Ramhar, on a clear day the views (360 degrees) are otherworldly. And BTW, no one should ever allow themselves to be "psyched out" by the legendary "One Man's Pass", which from my point of view is no more thrilling on any but the windiest of days than strolling over a narrow drumlin ridge.... One could roll across it, dance across it, traipse.... sashay... Good news (I hope) about the repairs. That section is badly eroded and people's feet have cut multiple tracks through it.
