This route uses access tracks to get all the way to the summit of Keeper Hill before making a more direct descent over the bog. My route then follows a tough overgrown and wet forest ride up to the top of Boolatin. Views are extensive and admirable from Keeper Hill, and obscured and dismal from Boolatin Top. A nice 12km walk that you might share with horse riders, scramblers or like-minders ramblers.
