Add a Place Comment for Carrafull (983) in Area: North Mayo, S: Bangor Erris Hills, County: Mayo, S: Bangor Erris Hills
From the cross roads in Bangor (A (F861 231)), walk north up a minor road which shortly turns left, at the next corner B (F859 234) go right through a gate onto a rough track. This runs towards a ruined house, but soon after going through the gate there is a track junction, turn right here and follow this track up hill, pass a wrecked car and continue onto the telecommunication aerials at Srahanarry.
From here walk up hill (beside then passed some cables on the ground) to the first summit and then out to the actual summit of Carrafull. Another great North Mayo view point, despite its modest height. Return is by way of your ascent.
The track & Masts mentioned above are not shown on the older OS series, the track that is shown is overgrown and best avoided. Linkback: mountainviews.ie/summit/983/comment/3719/

Enjoyable walk with easy access.

From the center of Bangor I walked east along the N59 for about a kilometre and then turned left up a narrow country road. I followed this narrow road up hill for approximately 500 meters where I came across a gate on my left : C (F874 236).
I accessed Carrafull by climbing this gate, and made my way towards both tops. The good thing about going this way is that you have only one or two wire fences in your way, and they are low and easy to step over.
Fabulous views on top. Linkback: mountainviews.ie/summit/983/comment/23491/
