Corranabinnia SW Top: Maol Rua - a lot of reward for a moderate challenge

Summit Comment ochils_trekker 23 hours ago
I had visited Corranabinnia itself on a previous occasion, ascending via Ben Gorm, and had resolved to re-visit as it is such a beautiful valley (Glendahurk). It is also probably the most easily a...

Carrickbyrne Hill: Very overgrown but passable

Summit Comment DeirdreM 6 days ago
The trail up to the summit is very overgrown since the last comments but can still be spotted. A small machete would do the trick. No views at all from the top with all the growth.

Energy sapping trudge over, rough, sponge-like terrain.

Tievummera Highpoint: An obvious stop along the ridge

Summit Comment David-Guenot 6 days ago
The real highpoint stands close to the edge of the cliffs and is actually an obvious stop between Tievummera trig point and Barrclashcame.

Long walk for one Carn.

Hare Island: A very pleasant four hours

The classic traverse of Heir and back. Rather than rushing for the ferry we had a toasted sandwich in the sunshine by the sailing school.

Garinish Island: White-tailed sea eagles on Gairinish

Island Comment garrettd a week ago
The nesting pair of sea eagles can be seen from the ferry taking passengers to and from Glengarriff. The thrill of seeing these magnificent birds in the wild was worth the ferry price alone, ...

Well defended hill by the vegetation
by Fergalh  10 Apr 2023
The easy part of this double is Craig Aberserw. Head over gorse, heather, billberries, elephant grass, wet ground and bogholes. This hill has great defences ! Eventually after a few ups and downs keeping north of LLyn y Fran the final ascent starts to a more rocky summit than the previous hill. Great views into valley below and also the sweep of the Rhinnogs from here Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/B14411/comment/23875/
