A variation on OptO's track 2100 which takes a clockwise direction and passes west of Glas Lough on the descent. I had originally intended to walk anticlockwise, which means the road walk of 6k first; however the weather was good at the start and was forecast to worsen, so I opted to take the hill in the dry and suffer the rain on the road!

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 5h 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.
