Onzy: Track 2233 in area near Knockbrack, Slieve Mish (Ireland)
Western Spur of the Slieve Mish
Length: 10.8km, Creator time taken: 3h18m, Ascent: 608m,
Descent: 605m

Places: Start at Q7156305353, Knockbrack, Moanlaur, Beenduff, Knockmore, Lack Mountain, end at Q7159604985 370m S from Start
Logged as completed by 1

Route over Knockbrack, Moanlaur, Beenduff and Lack Mountain, this track builds on Simon3's track 2007, but detours on the return to take in Lack Mountain.

Inclement weather meant I deferred my intended route over Baurtregaum and Caherconree and stayed lower down - not a great day for visibility and these hills were plenty high enough. My first time in Slieve Mish and in the mist GPS was essential - The ground is quite complex and although the route looks straightforward there are navigational pitfalls in poor weather - not least an apparent plethora of other peaks not listed on MV which can confuse the unwary!
