Knocknagullion: Rough rock, vast view.

Knockshigowna: Prominent little hill

Summit Comment TommyV a month ago
The mountain bike park on Knockshigowna is closed indefinitely due to the crazy nature of insurance and it's costs . This makes accessing the hill from the farm a no go unless you want to dri...

Onzy: Track 3092 in area near Slieve Foye, Cooley/Gullion (Ireland)
Carlingford Mountain
Length: 7.6km, Creator time taken: 1h42m, Ascent: 517m,
Descent: 293m

Places: Start at J1598310473, Slieve Foye, Slieve Foye North-West Top, The Eagles Rock, end at J1572612516 2.1km N from Start
Logged as completed by 1

Route to Slieve Foye, its northwest top and The Eagles Rock from the south.

The new Arderin Beg listing has tempted me back to many areas that I have not visited in a while.  Carlingford is one such area and I had forgotten how prominent Slieve Foye is, how good the views are, and how satisfying a climb it is.  Previously I had climbed from Carlingford village, but on this occasion, I started from the south, where there is parking where the Tain Way meets the road.

This is probably the easiest and quickest route for an up and down to Slieve Foye - an hour easily reaches the summit; from here the rocky ridge stretches northwest, over the NW Top and Eagles Rock, and on, should you wish to Raven's and Foxes rocks.

Having achieved my objective of the two Arderin Begs, I descended southerly shortly after Eagles Rock, through the 'White Bog' (not particularly white, but definitely boggy) to a farm track and back to the car.
