Brougher Mountain: A quick bag.

Nothing much to add to the comments already. Drove most of the way up from the North side of the hill to within 450 metres of the trig point. Nothing to recommend to anybody who is looking to get ...

Relatively recent history has liberated Camlough Mountain from the bonds of the military: some metallic paraphernalia remains high on its slopes but if one puts that aside it's a cracking little e...

Carrigshouk: Accessible but not necessarily easy.

Summit Comment IainT a week ago
Although Carrigshouk is very close to a road it's quite a rough little walk, with deep heather, boulders, scrub and the remants of old tree planting. The worst of this can be avoided by parking ea...

Onzy: Track 3318 in area near Maumtrasna, Partry/Joyce Country (Ireland)
Maumtrasna: Up Skeltia and down Leynabrick
Length: 10.5km, Creator time taken: 2h55m, Ascent: 659m,
Descent: 372m

Places: Start at L98220 60292, Maumtrasna, end at L96810 61303 1.7km NW from Start
Logged as completed by 2
Route to Maumtrasna using the Skeltia and Leynabrick spurs running north from Lough Nafooey.

Maumtrasna is a curious hill. Basically a large plateau bitten into by a number of coums and with no obvious 'best' route to the top. The coums however provide a number of possibilities. This walk was prompted by a 2004 comment from miked, who suggested it, but found his attention grabbed by another coum having made his ascent.
