Do any readers know how the Devil's Punch Bowl beneath Mangerton got its name or who the Roger (of Roger's rocks on the West Pap) was? Many thanks

Carntreena: View in a million

Summit Comment Colin Murphy 4 hours ago
Descending from Carntreena or Tievealehid towards Gweedore, you are rewarded on a fine day with perhaps one of the finest views of iconic Errigal to be had - especially if the summer wildflowers a...

This is usually done in conjunction with Dooish itself, although it may be completed individually. There are a number of places to park on the R251 directly to the north of the top. Proceed south ...

Owenreagh Hill: The mist comes dropping slow...

Summit Comment Colin Murphy 7 hours ago
I'm paraphrasing Yeats (it's actually 'the peace comes dropping slow'), but I'm moved to verse because an otherwise unremarkable hill was enhanced enormously by the presence of low-lying early mor...

Bessy Bell: Simple bag enlivened by nature

Summit Comment Colin Murphy 8 hours ago
Starting at H378804, it's a relatively easy trek up forest tracks the entire way. It's probably 3km from start to summit, over the course of which you gain about 200m elevation, so the slope is ve...

During a heat wave in 2022 this was the view of Mullaghcleevaun seen from the slopes of Kippure to the North East. Overall the colour is much lighter than usual. The purple is of the heather, in v...

Knockboy: What a location (on a fine day!)

Summit Comment hazyview 4 days ago
The most incredible views on the drive up to Priest's Leap. Still squelchy underfoot in parts despite glorious weather. Stick to the fence: we went astray at one stage when we left it.

Lug circuit
by geohappy  13 Jul 2014
Today did the circuit Camara Hill - Lug - Slievemaan - Ballineddan. Started misty but cleared for fine views all the way to Slievenamon. Noted some quad bike tracks between Lug and Sl'maan but the ground seems to have recovered since the awful photos from earlier comments. It helps that we had a dry June and the ground was easy underfoot. Very glad I hadn't tackled Ballineddan first - a steep and monotonous climb but a very quick and easy descent thanks to the dry conditions! Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/70/comment/17548/
