The peak of the eastern most Pap looking towards the other Pap and Killarney and Magillycuddys. Taken on 05/06/2019, which was a pleasant and sweaty evening.

Summit Comment TommyV 4 days ago
Foilclogh is quite a central hill towards the Southern half of the Iveragh peninsula so the views at the top are fantastic. The summit itself however is a bland elevated hump and the hike up is no...

Geokaun: Drive time

Summit Comment TommyV 4 days ago
Nothing to add on the directions as its very straight forward. The weather turned just as we drove to the summit so we didn't even get to do the short looped walk.

The route described by others is still the same and it's now way marked. Just to mention that there is now a car park which is a discovery point along the Wild Atlantic Way which is the start poin...

simon3: Track 932 in area near Knocklomena, Iveragh (Ireland)
Four tops west of Moll's Gap.
Length: 10.7km, Creator time taken: 5h55m, Ascent: 950m,
Descent: 837m

Places: Start at V78741 77240, Knocklomena, Bascadh, end at V86074 77502 7.3km E from Start
Logged as completed by 2
This is a testing linear walk starting on the public road near Lough Brin and ending at the carpark and cafe at Moll's Gap.
Note that the going underfoot is slow even going downhill due to the untracked rough ground. With more time it would be possible to include the two VL's at the east end (Cnoc na gCapall and Boughil).
