David-Guenot: Track 2875 in area near Knockalongy, Ox Mountains (Ireland)
Lost in the peat hag maze !!
Length: 9.7km, Creator time taken: 4h33m, Ascent: 480m,
Descent: 541m

Places: Start at G52688 29393, Knockalongy, end at Start
Logged as completed by 1
The summit plateau is a real peat hag maze, but hopefully the weather was dry !! I would recommend using the descending route for ascending as well, staying away from the N cliffs; better terrain and better views over the Ocean and Lough Aghree. Care required on the steeper part of the descent, especially under wet conditions.
