A hat tip to Captain Vertigo's track 2038 with more accurate ascent/descent tracking. Great views on a clear day. A loop from the Vee over the Eastern Knockmealdowns.
The return via forest tracks doesn't provide much excitement apart from the Liam Lynch Memorial at the foot of Crohan.
The route is described in Helen Fairbairn's "Ireland's Best Walks".
Useless fact: With the naked eye I was pretty sure that I could make out Capel Island in the sea south of Youghal. That's about 39km south of Knockmealdown summit. Obviously there's very little in the way of high ground south of the Knockmealdowns.

NOTE: ALL information such as Ascent, Length and Creator time taken etc should be regarded as approximate. The creator's comments are opinions and may not be accurate or still correct.
Your time to complete will depend on your speed plus break time and your mode of transport. For walkers: Naismith's rule, an approximate though often inaccurate estimate, suggests a time of 6h 53m + time stopped for breaks
NOTE: It is up to you to ensure that your route is appropriate for you and your party to follow bearing in mind all factors such as safety, weather conditions, experience and access permission.

* Note: A GPS Height in the elevation profile is sourced from the device that recorded the track. An "SRTM" height is derived from a model of elevations for parts of the earth. More detail
