Easy going walk.

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 transmitter tower: 81733188 starF. By taking this lane you wont have any fences to climb. The terrain on this side of the hill is easy going overall. Beautiful views on top. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/939/comment/23970/
