Listen out!!

Just to advise anybody who might be interested in walking on the Nagles to bear in mind it is a range also much beloved of trailbikers. Some of the paths especially between Seefin and Knocknaskagh are narrow so one needs to keep your wits about and listen out for these lads either before or behind you.

Always good to mark the top of a hill well.
by chelman7  29 Apr 2021
Isn't it always more satisfying when you reach the top of a hill or mountain to have some significant mark there? Thanks to whoever created this nice pile of stones. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/721/comment/23009/

After Knocknaskagh we approached Seefin by turning off the main forestry road at W68227 94566 starC up a narrow but passable track through pine forest.
We arrived at a large summit cairn that from some angles resembles a wizards hat.
Because the forest surrounds this cairn the views are quite limited.
Coming down from the summit turn north at W67715 94363 starD to get back on the main forestry track. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/721/comment/2812/

Good forest tracks to Wizards Hat

Having read other comments decided to try to ascend from the west after climbing Corran. Parked at forest entrance W 66980 94859 starE room for one or maybe two cars parked carefully, Walked on good forestry track and after approx 150mts met a crossroads of forest tracks went straight through this junction and took next right turn, followed this track and ignoring next left went straight on a well defined grassy track to W 67387 94508 starF at this point a good path uphil to the left leads the large stone cairn that adorns this top. Total distance car to car approx 3km, time taken 40mins. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/721/comment/17860/
