simon3: Track 1773 in area near Cnoc Leitreach, Achill/Corraun (Ireland)
A widening view as you ascend the tail of Owenduff.
Length: 10.6km, Creator time taken: 3h48m, Ascent: 504m,
Descent: 509m

Places: Start at L8029699723, Cnoc Leitreach, end at Start
Logged as completed by 1

Start from the road where there is some parking. Walk on forest paths initially. Judging by the extent of tree cutting you may need to find a different way to reach the forest boundary in the SW corner of the walk. Some of the ground is pretty boggy.
Eventually you can get yourself on the "tail" of the summit which stretches SW.
The way down from summit was surprisingly difficult due to steepness and slipperiness.
