[RWD version 1 ]
Wanted to climb Keeper Hill from the Silvermines side. Parked at Knockanroe carpark, walking downhill on fire road until you get to the regional road at the bottom of the valley. Cross the river/stream, walk up the shale gully and back on fire road again, then walk through the trees (no track here), once through the trees keep to your extreme right as the path goes along the edge of the ridge. In spite of all the road walking, still a good 15km round trip, taking about 3.5 hours.
