Mount Gabriel: Simple and stunning

Can there be an easier summit to bag in Ireland, which also offers such amazing, expansive views? Unlikely. Drove almost to the top, walked 30m to trig pillar atop rocky outcrop, spent ten mi...

Short Summary created by Harry Goodman  22 Aug 2013
Leave the R253 at G968963 starA and follow a minor road S and then SW for 5 km to off road parking at G9372493563 starB. Walk west along the road for 1.2km to G9262693317 starC where a gate crosses it. Go through, leave the road and turn right (NW) uphill along a fence line on the right. Follow up to a noticeable rocky knoll at G9197793632 starD. This gives access to the long and broad summit ridge with the high point G9168883565 starE, still some 300 metres further along and passing a small lough on the way.. The ground is a mix of grass covered peat and some rocks. There are close up views S across the Reelan Valley to Silver Hill and Lavagh More and further along the Bluestacks ridge E to the triangular profile of Gaugin Mt. A walk out and back of 5km. Most likely however to be climbed as part of a longer circuit covering a number of tops. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/754/comment/5513/
