wicklore: Track 1872 in area near Cnoc na hUilleann, Maamturks (Ireland)
Deep in the Maamturks
Length: 13.6km, Creator time taken: 5h32m, Ascent: 1002m, Descent: 1011m
Places:Start at L8786255717, Cnoc na hUilleann, Cnoc na hUilleann (mullach thuaidh), Barr Log Riabhach, Binn Bhriocáin, Binn Bhriocáin (mullach thoir thuaidh), Binn Bhán, end at Start Logged as completed by 1
This route follows what I call the 3rd stage of the Maamturks Walk. (so called as it was the third section of the Maamturks that I completed using my own access and exit points). Using a handy access point in the Glenlosh Valley the route initially follows a track before heading up wet slopes to the col between Binn idir an dà Log and Cnoc na hUilleann. From here the route follows the Maamturks Walk from summit to summit. After Maamturkmore (Binn Bhan) my route leaves the Maamturks Walk to descend to the road and back to the car. A tough and demanding walk that requires care in places due to steep, wet or rocky underfoot conditions. The valley is privately owned but both times I spoke to the owners they were happy to allow me to park. (they live in the last house at the end of the valley).

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 24m + 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.
* Note: A GPS Height in the elevation profile is sourced from the device that recorded the track. An "SRTM" height is derived from a model of elevations for parts of the earth. More detail
