Not much going for it!
by Harry Goodman  30 Nov 2020
I climbed or more correctly traversed Addernymore from NE to SW on 10 Aug as the final hill in a round of five tops that I had not previously visited. My approach was from Crockglass summit B8923016629 starG by heading down to Pt 352 B8920016000 starH over a very wet and sticky patch of bog requiring much clambering in and out, up and down, numerous peat hags. (For previous part of route see Crocknafarragh SE Top.) After this boggy area was crossed the slope up the hill was much more pleasant and gentle to the top. The top of the hill is marked by a small cairn and is close to a small pond. It is on a broad, flat, heathery moorland (see photo). On the way down SW there was much heather and some rock but the going was relatively easy. My only concern was that my choosen reference point was at a stream that had to be crossedI may be impassable due to the heavy rain of recent date. I need not have worried as it led me down, as I hoped it might, to a wooden footbridge not marked on my map B8692014055 starE to link up with a rough farm track B8689714085 starD which I then followed out WNW to to a junction with an unsurfaced road B8622814313 starC. From here I turned right and walked the short distance to a minor road where a right turn and some 6k of road walking brought me back to my starting point for the round B8387418575 starI, at a church car park and from where I had ascended my first top of the day Grogan More. For anyone with access to a second car or a pick up the road walking can easily be eliminated by parking at a convenient point near B8622814313 starC. This would also be the place to park for a walk up and back down Addernymore although it would be a long slog with little satisfaction. The total distace covered in my circular walk was 18.35k including the 6k road walk at the end. The walk out to the top and back would be some 8k.
