Bloody Foreland: Easy going walk.

Summit Comment Wilderness 14 hours ago
I parked in the view point car park at Point E. From here the best way to access this hill is to walk down the main road a bit , and then turn right up a lane that leads to a small transmitte...

Mullaghanoe: Forest harvesting and mast compound

Summit Comment TommyV a day ago
The route already mentioned seems to be the only logical way to approach this very bland hill. I drove as far as far as a forest barrier and even though it was open I still decided to walk fr...

Benbo: A small but interesting Hill

Summit Summary Collaborative entry Last edit by: Colin Murphy a day ago
Park at G860366, forestry entrance gate. Walk NE for about 200 metres and as the road swings left look for an entrance on to a muddy lane bounded on each side by a corrugated iron sheet. As o...

This is purely for a quick bag. Accessed via the road mentioned in other comments. The area is now a small windfarm and there are signs at the access gate stating no unauthorized personnel. As the summit is only about 200 metres from the gate on a good track, a quick dash will have you up and down before anybody will notice. Hard to enjoy the views when you no you are deliberately trespassing but a nice quick bag all the same. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/912/comment/20457/
