As mentioned by Harry Goodman, it's possible to drive along Belmore forest for almost two kilometers as far as a black forestry gate. There is also a standard gate here on the right giving access to the hill along a defined farm path. After a short climb along the path it's time to hop a couple of fences to hit the open boggy plateau that is Belmore Mountain. If I had continued to the end of the path I believe I would have reached the tin shed but I struck out South East a little prematurely. The trig point is about 1.5km away from here through deep spongy heather makes for unpleasant hiking. The entire out and back walk is only 4 kilometers but it feels like double that due to the terrain underfoot. On a side note, I've seen a lot of trig points on my travels but I have never seen one covered in so much moss as the one on Belmore. It looks like something that had been resting on the bottom of the sea for years. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/843/comment/20420/
