Onzy: Track 3046 in area near Knocknacusha, Dunkerron Mountains (Ireland)
Up and down Knocknacusha
Length: 2.6km, Creator time taken: 59m29s, Ascent: 242m,
Descent: 243m

Places: Start at V6707579140, Knocknacusha, end at Start
Logged as completed by 1

Knocknacusha from the Ballaghisgheen Pass.

Although the distance is trivial, this is over rougher ground than I expected. There is no clear unambigiuous path and small route choices over and around the many crags need to be made continuously.
