Easily bagged peak.

Took note of previous comments and parked at forest layby M10027 95078 starC as potholes in track were getting bigger. Nice walk up to trig point but unfortunately no visibility due to low cloud. Was hoping to see views of Nephin, Croagh Patrick and Clew Bay but to no avail.
Track fine towards summit but unless you drive a Land Rover Defender or similar, park near bottom of access road. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/686/comment/24290/
