Long trek to summit
by Fergalh  10 Mar 2021
Parked to the west at large car park on minor road North of Lough Tay. There is a track which leads to a small growing young forest. which eventually leads to an obvious track that winds its way up the mountain to summit. Straightforward climb not too steep which leads to a small cairn at the top which marks the summit Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/B144/comment/22565/
