Day 2 of the visit of the Database of British & Irish Hills survey team to Ireland.
Todays prime target was Tomaneena (Turlough Hill) which is interesting from a surveying point of view as the highest point is a man-made structure, a resevoir which is inaccessible.
We (that is ... Jackill & Mcrtchly) took the opportunity to survey Fair Mountain and Camaderry Mtn East Top. Both of these hills have previously had their inclusion (or exclusion) in MVs lists based on map analysis rather than survey data, so once the data is crunched we will have more accurate data for Fair Mtn, and data which might possibly justify the inclusion of Camaderry Mtn East Top.
Cairn on Camaderry East Top, Tomaneena in the distance
The East Top (sh 677 on OS) has a more substantial cairn than Camaderry itself and feels sufficiently separate to the main top to merit its inclusion. However, I am told that 'feels' is not a surveying term.
