[RWD version 1 ] I kid you not, this was extremely tough going. Started off pretty well with a fairly gentle ascent of Farscallop. About 1km up the slope I encountered the device in the photo. No idea what it is, but perhaps someone can enlighten me. Pressed on through peat hags near the summit and reached the top after about 1 hour. Unfortunately the curve of the hill prevents broad views of Glenveagh valley. That was where my enjoyable hillwalking day came to an end. As I headed down the steep eastern slope towards Leahanmore, I encountered knee high (even waist high) grass, concealing very uneven ground and multiple sunken pools and potential ankle-breaking holes. I fell at least 5 times. Reaching the valley floor, it was very boggy, and then the long grass continued as I ascended the lower slopes of Leahanmore. This made walking fairly agonising. Eventually the grass was replaced by more easily crossed rocky terrain around 300m ascent. My return was equally painful and difficult. I skirted the unlisted Croaghnanamph to the SW, crossed the stream in the valley and followed SE curve of Farscallop. More waist-high grass and potential ankle-twisters – this was as rough as it gets, a brutal slog for about 2km, eventually crossing the Bulloba River and clambering up to the welcome sight of the road. I then had a couple of km road walk, but after the horrors of earlier, it seemed a blessing. Only compensation was a beautiful setting sun as I fell upon my car almost with an embrace!
