Having arrived at the usual 'high' start on the one way drive across Gullion's flanks I discovered no access signs and footpath 'repairers' in situ...an issue to which I will doubtless return later. Anyway, I drove a bit further along and made my own way up pathless slopes of (mainly) bracken to the summit ridge: once aloft a track led to the top, a little swampy after the day before's heavy rain. I returned the same way, of a fashion. On a clear day the crux (and it's a very tame one) of this route is getting over the barbed wire fence just after you leave 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 0h 57m + 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 Starts in new browser window.
