Dromderalough NE Top: Odd-looking formations

Summit Comment Colin Murphy 12 hours ago
On my approach to the summit I came across a large field of hundreds of these rather striking formations, which I think are are moss-covered boulders, but which looked like giant green ant-hills o...

Summit Comment Colin Murphy 12 hours ago
My final Vandeleur-Lynam! Unfortunately No. 273 wasn't the most distinctive summit (when I came off Mangerton I couldn't even pick it out on the landscape) , but the views from the top are tremend...

Dromderalough NE Top: Long route from the south.

Summit Summary Collaborative entry Last edit by: Colin Murphy 12 hours ago
Not normally done in isolation, this top usually forms part of a walk involving Dromderalough itself or Mangerton. One approach is from the north, which has the advantage of a gently rising track ...

Slievenaglogh: Pleasant 90 Minute Stroll

Summit Comment Pepe 3 days ago
A blanket of cloud covered the higher Cooleys from Foxe's Rock to Foye but Slievenagloch was in the clear - happy days! Lots of logging activity at 9.30 of a Monday morning, so no space to park at...

Mangerton: The Lake District

Summit Comment TommyV 4 days ago
Scapania's directions to the start are perfect. It's possible to make a looped walked taking in Stoompa and Mangerton which will allow for great views of so many lakes I won't list them. It's a fa...

Naweeloge Top: Meh

Summit Comment magnumpig 5 days ago
I followed Sandmans instructions - thanks for those - it's a bit of a time consuming and boring climb, and the views from the top arent great. I wouldnt prioritise it if you have time constraints ...

wicklore: Track 2291 in area near Camenabologue, Dublin/Wicklow (Ireland)
A typical Lugnaquillia route
Length: 17.5km, Creator time taken: 7h44m, Ascent: 937m,
Descent: 947m

Places: Start at T06013 94560, Camenabologue, Lugnaquilla, end at Start
Logged as completed by 1
I did this walk with a group of scouts in February, with snow, ice and very cold weather. We stayed in the little An Oige hostel near the Baravore ford deep in the Glenmalure Valley. (A temperature gauge in the hotel read -5 Celsius inside!). We took a group of 12-15 year old scouts who managed the walk so this will give you an indication of whether you can do it. However be careful on the descent into Fraughan Rock Glen - steep and care is needed at any time of year. This walk takes in Camenabologue and Lugnaquillia. It follows a forest track for several kms, involves a lengthy bog crossing later on, has a seemingly endless ascent and gives views of a huge sweep of the Wicklow Mountains (on a clear day).
