Visited Croaghmoyle on Wed 12th, plodded up the mast access road in very windy conditions to be greeted by a burnt out Fiesta. Great views from here in all directions if you ignore the Fiesta.

Foilclogh: Lovely views ..... average hike

Foilclogh is quite a central hill towards the Southern half of the Iveragh peninsula so the views at the top are fantastic. The summit itself however is a bland elevated hump and the hike up is no...

This track is corrupted. It appears to be two separate tracks that are joined. Saggart Hill and Cupidstown Hill are one track; Lugnagun is another track that is a significant distance away. The tr...

Onzy: Track 2340 in area near Boughil, Dunkerron Mountains (Ireland)
West of Moll's Gap
Length: 7.5km, Creator time taken: 3h20m, Ascent: 602m,
Descent: 599m

Places: Start at V85115 77057, Boughil, Cnoc na gCapall, Bascadh, end at Start
Logged as completed by 1
Route over Boughil, Cnoc na gCapall and Bascadh, beginning at Barfinny Lough.

The standard route here would probably be to cover these three hills and add Knocklomena before descending to the road and returning to the start point, or, I suppose returning over the hills again.

Faced with some time pressure, and finding the complex terrain, particularly between Cnoc na gCapall and Bascadh very time consuming, I called a halt at Bascadh and contoured under Cnoc na gCapall on the return.

There is a handy fence which can be followed right from Barfinny Lough all the way along the tops.
