Trees are now being harvested. Approach can still be via Jackill's directions. Good views now.

Brassel Mountain: A varied trip to this summit

Summit Comment kkendellen a week ago
Just back from a great weekend in the Reeks. A group of us decided to go for a few more challenging routes than our previous trips to the Kingdom, with as much scrambling potential as possible. Af...

Slieveboy: Did it fall or was it pushed?

Summit Comment Pepe a week ago
This poor old trig has keeled over at the Slievboy mast compound. Did it fall or was it pushed? Who knows, perhaps the upside-down beer label (visible in the foreground of the picture) provides a ...

Carrigleitrim: Obstacle course

Summit Comment Colin Murphy a week ago
Followed the short summary directions, but the area after the track has now been replanted with saplings, although these were relatively easy to negotiate. The real problems started at the edge of...

Lugnagun: Easier to access than previously

Summit Comment Colin Murphy a week ago
Thanks to forest clearing, the approach to this top has been eased considerably. Walk along the forest track for about 1km to O007 121. One the left is a narrow but clearly visible track ascending...

Slieveroe: Take the long view

Summit Comment Colin Murphy a week ago
Slieveroe may not be the most exciting of tops, (unless you call being torn to shreds by gorse exciting) but it does have one saving grace - it presents a wonderful view of the Blessington Lakes. ...

Summit Summary Collaborative entry Last edit by: Colin Murphy a week ago
Park at N953 137, at the entrance to a small cul de sac. 100m along this on the left there is a gate, leading to a nettled track of sorts, although this is quite navigable. Cross a fence at the en...

Knockannavea: Easy but unexciting bag

Summit Summary Collaborative entry Last edit by: Colin Murphy a week ago
Unfortunately this summit is isolated, Spruce covered and not terribly attractive, on the plus side it is easily bagged, using track/s the whole way. Half an hour or so will easily take it in if n...

That JCB is there for some months now. its best to tuck in to the right of the passage as you go up. They'll be just about room to park and not block the access. Its certainly not a place to reverse back down!! Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/895/comment/15273/
