Grouse heaven (for now!)
by markmjcampion  22 Apr 2023
A track takes you from Great Law to the western side of Yardstone Knowe. A short walk through the heather will see you at the summit. These hills are partt of a large grouse farm. hence the large amount of unchecked heather. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/B7321/comment/23924/
