simon3: Track 1502 in area near Bennaunmore, Mangerton (Ireland)

On the OSi layer it is possible to see the exact unsigned route to the start of this anti-clockwise walk, leaving the public road at "Rossalia". You might wonder why parts of the track in appear to be at running rather than vehicle speed. This is due to the astonishingly bad surface of the road.
The route encompasses four different sorts of summit starting with the odd Bennaunmore with its volcanic origins. The route up this as shown from the picturesque north of L. Nabroda has a 167m climb up a steep, wide gully. Given the horizontal distance of 280m the gradient for this is a punishing 59%, by far the steepest of the day.
Ascending Crohane SW is relatively easy followed by the easterly walk over confusing ground to Carrigawadra. This last leg and the one up to Crohane are best done when the vegetation is low in spring.
The route shown from Crohane to the informal parking area follows an agricultural track north for a while then branches off to the SW. Very possibly this is not the best route down.

NOTE: ALL information such as Ascent, Length and Creator time taken etc should be regarded as approximate. The creator's comments are opinions and may not be accurate or still correct.
Your time to complete will depend on your speed plus break time and your mode of transport. For walkers: Naismith's rule, an approximate though often inaccurate estimate, suggests a time of 4h 53m + time stopped for breaks
NOTE: It is up to you to ensure that your route is appropriate for you and your party to follow bearing in mind all factors such as safety, weather conditions, experience and access permission.
