Mount Gabriel: Simple and stunning

Summit Comment Colin Murphy 23 hours ago
Can there be an easier summit to bag in Ireland, which also offers such amazing, expansive views? Unlikely. Drove almost to the top, walked 30m to trig pillar atop rocky outcrop, spent ten mi...

Bagging across the water
by paddyhillsbagger  3 Mar 2014
Well, as I was in the UK for a conference I thought I'd continue some hill bagging. This pretty little top is actually a county top and from it's summit you can see most of that county below you. The only downside is the vast quarry that the hill rises out off, however a pair of Peregrine seemed to be quite happy flying around it. I started in Vercor Close at SK458 140 and followed the Ivanhoe Way and forest paths to the top. .http://www.hill-bagging.co.uk/CountyTops.php is a useful site for bagging tops in the UK.
