Douglas Top doesn't have too many redeeming features, unless you count the ease with which it is bagged, but among them is the fine view to the north west of Slemish, standing in splendid iso...

It's possible to take the hair raising drive to a place called Priests Leap on the Cork-Kerry county boundry at V98563 61005. From here it's possible to follow a fence which marks the county ...

Tough going
by paddyhillsbagger  4 Mar 2012
Parked a little up the road from sandman's starting point at a large forestry entrance. Followed the paths and made my way uphill to the North of the forest edge which brought me out on open moorland near spot height 349 G382 178 starH. Made my way across boggy and tussocky ground to an empty unmarked summit of peat hags. Wonderful views of surrounding country and mountain ranges. Returned via sandman's route but didn't find forest trail and cut through trees which was pretty unpleasant. A lot of effort for a dull top with a nice view. Allow about an hour and a half with some tough going. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/770/comment/6706/
