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/
