Summit Comment hibby 3 days ago
Ballyguile is another hill that, were it not for the Local 100 list, I might never have been aware of. We parked in an estate called Mountainview (a propitious name!) and used the recommended...

No pain for Knockbane
by eamonoc  29 Oct 2023
Was in Hollyford recently, last time there 2014 or thereabouts, was up Knockbane in fading light
after a bit of a slog, no windfarm then and now turbines adorn a lot of the hills around here.
Took the opportunity to have a look again. Took a road up from Hollyford past a prominent mast to a barrier
at R93994 52202 starF. Followed a good path to junction with a bigger and newer path at R93964 52591 starG.
headed up a sharp right from here to Turbine, hopped fence behind Turbine and up to Trig point.
An easy 30 min round trip, if anyone is interested. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/678/comment/24072/
