We started at G9377982726 where there's ample parking. A rough road heads north, and after 1.5km we came upon a gate and sheep pens on the right at G9378284223. With care, it looks possible to drive up to this point, and there appears to be a large area to park a bit further on the left. Jumping the gate we follow an old bog road uphill. This eventually fizzled out, and we continuing NW edging the shore of Lough Cam. there followed some undulating and potentially confusing terrain before reaching the summit cairn, which looks like it's the highest point (the OSI map suggests a point 200m north). Great views, as you might expect from a Bluestacks outlier. We returned by the same route.
