Carntreena: View in a million

Summit Comment Colin Murphy an hour ago
Descending from Carntreena or Tievealehid towards Gweedore, you are rewarded on a fine day with perhaps one of the finest views of iconic Errigal to be had - especially if the summer wildflowers a...

This is usually done in conjunction with Dooish itself, although it may be completed individually. There are a number of places to park on the R251 directly to the north of the top. Proceed south ...

Owenreagh Hill: The mist comes dropping slow...

Summit Comment Colin Murphy 4 hours ago
I'm paraphrasing Yeats (it's actually 'the peace comes dropping slow'), but I'm moved to verse because an otherwise unremarkable hill was enhanced enormously by the presence of low-lying early mor...

Parking for a few cars at H42361 97258, which is the entrance to Owenreagh Windfarm. Proceed directly up the substantial track for about 1.5km to H42190 95979 and then leave the track, turning SW ...

Bessy Bell: Simple bag enlivened by nature

Summit Comment Colin Murphy 5 hours ago
Starting at H378804, it's a relatively easy trek up forest tracks the entire way. It's probably 3km from start to summit, over the course of which you gain about 200m elevation, so the slope is ve...

Mullaghcleevaun: Light colours, uncertain future.

Summit Comment simon3 4 days ago
During a heat wave in 2022 this was the view of Mullaghcleevaun seen from the slopes of Kippure to the North East. Overall the colour is much lighter than usual. The purple is of the heather, in v...

Knockboy: What a location (on a fine day!)

Summit Comment hazyview 4 days ago
The most incredible views on the drive up to Priest's Leap. Still squelchy underfoot in parts despite glorious weather. Stick to the fence: we went astray at one stage when we left it.

finbarr65: Track 4570 in area near Long Hill, Comeragh Mountains (Ireland)

Descent: 1836m

Places: Start at S20216 22235, Long Hill, Laghtnafrankee, Knocksheegowna, Knockanaffrin, Knockanaffrin South Top, Carrignagower, Kilclooney Mountain, Curraghduff, Coumfea North Top, Coumfea, Seefin, Coumaraglin Mountain, Crohaun, end at X25941 93485 29km S from Start
Logged as completed by 2

This was the great day on the Comeragh Crossing as specified by https://www.irishmountainchallenges.com/comeragh-crossing
The challenge start is the Old Bridge in Clonmal and the finish at Duke of Devonshire Bridge in Dungravan. Summit names listed in the challange details were taken from East-West mapping.
Croughduff(Carrignagower) was reached after 4.5 hours (20km) by which the majority of the climbing is done. Granted the next couple of hours were a bit of a slog crossing the very boggy ground that is Comeragh Plateau before the better ground after Seefin. From here its a real pleasure with the wonderful views towards Dungravan and the sea. 10km from the final summit Cruachan to the finish half of which is on the road.
