conormcbandon: Track 3918 in area near Knockmannon Hill, South Midlands (Ireland)
Knockmannon Hill
Length: 3.1km, Creator time taken: 52m16s, Ascent: 123m,
Descent: 42m

Places: Start at S39074 70726, Knockmannon Hill, end at S38198 70975 911m W from Start
Logged as completed by 1

The descent route of this track is preferable to the ascent route. Finding the vegetation under the electricity transmission wires impassable I diverted through the forestry to the south which was still difficult as not fully mature. I ascended to the ill defined summit and descended via the recently cut forest.
