A short hill walk in Donegal

From the small area, where you can squeeze in a car or perhaps two at C09182 24431 starB, it is roughly one and half hours return to the summit of Crockmore. We walked along the road to C0906 2469 starC, where there is a faint path towards Lough Acrobane, mentioned in simon3's route description, crossing the river by a hidden bridge and then recrossing it to reach the bottom of the ridge to the right of the wide gully. (C09353 24910 starD, C09476 24958 starE, C09482 25168 starF being the gps points to get to the ridge) Follow this ridge uphill, past a stick sticking out of a piece of plastic tubing, to the first top, then a dip and the final short slope to the summit. Views are good and there was still a hint of strange colour in the approaching shower clouds, volcanic ash still about then. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/901/comment/4739/
