Short trek to summit
by Fergalh  11 Mar 2021
From Clachertyfarlie Knowes a walk around the head of the river valley is followed by a bee line to fence from where it is short distance to the summit marked with a trig pillar. Than a slightly more direct route back to starting point goes over the minor summit of Garloch Hill. The route was 11 km with a 709 metres ascent Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/B1656/comment/22573/
