Another Mullaghareirk windfarm
by eamonoc  24 Aug 2015
Knockacummer is now adorned with many wind turbines, I was able to drive to R 25180 14646 starB on a very well made track to windfarm entrance, signs on gate advising no entry without ringing a certain number, this being a Saturday and nobody about there was no problem with access, once through entrance top of Knockacummer is clearly obvious approx 1.5km to the sth, I headed towards Tubine number 5 on a wide windfarm track, and then headed directly uphill behind this along a drainage channel and onto another track to turbine number 10 and a short uphill walk directly from here led to the leaning trig of Knockacummer.
