While climbing Knockanora to the southwest earlier in the day I spotted a possible route up through the unkempt fields of the southwest shoulder of Gortagarry. From the maps an approach from the west appeared to offer a half to a third of the forest bashing as described by previous posters. In a few years this shouldn't be an issue as the forest matures. I parked the car in a layby at the start of this walk. The grass land is becomming dominated by furze and other weeds, but this is easily outmanouvered. I also used a dodgy road cut into the hillside as part of my ascent. Reaching the top of the hill I pushed into the forestry and reached the ill defined summit with the aid of my GPS (completely necessary!).
