Knockshigowna: Prominent little hill

Summit Comment TommyV a month ago
The mountain bike park on Knockshigowna is closed indefinitely due to the crazy nature of insurance and it's costs . This makes accessing the hill from the farm a no go unless you want to dri...

Knockalough: Trig it where the sun don't shine

Summit Comment TommyV a month ago
I followed the great directions provided here by simon3/jackill. The walk is mostly straight forward along the Knockalough loop trail, but the real challenge is to find the trig buried deep i...

Tooreen: Not all bad

Summit Comment TommyV a month ago
Reading the comments on Tooreen, I was non-too excited about bagging this hill. I took the approach from the East side of the hill but the windfarm also provides access from the West side. Th...

Mullaghanoe: Strictly Come Bagging

Summit Comment Pepe a month ago
Drove up the gravel road and parked. From here it's about a kilometre stroll up to the mast area. It's very overgrown around the compound now but it's possible to squeeze in along one side of...

Knocknagantee Near West Top: A bump on the way elsewhere.

Summit Summary Collaborative entry Last edit by: Colin Murphy a month ago
Often done alongside Knocknagantee itself, but this Ardering Beg may be done in isolation. One starting point is V66918 71228, which is the start of a trail. It is next to farm buildings but ...

Caherbarnagh East Top: Dull summit, good views

Summit Comment Colin Murphy a month ago
The summit is totally unremarkable and without the aid of a GPS the actual high point would be hard to define. The best thing about this mountain is the view of Caherbarnagh and if you walk a...

thomas_g: Track 1584 in area near Shehy More, Shehy/Knockboy (Ireland)
Shehy More and SW Top
Length: 9.1km, Creator time taken: 2h59m, Ascent: 383m,
Descent: 314m

Places: Start at W1527262042, Shehy More, Shehy More SW Top, end at W1564461680 519m SE from Start
Logged as completed by 1

A short but draining walk across some very boggy ground: bring gaiters!
There is a track that goes most of the way to Shehy More from just east of Lough Nambrackderg, but that would be cheating right?
For variety I went west of Lough Nambrackderg on the way back. I would suggest you keep to higher ground than is shown on the track back from Shehy SW as the northern side of the Shehy ridge is very boggy.
It's well worth going up to the spot height of 336m above Lough Nambrackderg as there are nice views of Shehy's, Douce and Doughill.
