Wednesday7th May 2025. 3.4 miles and 1650 feet of ascent (and descent).
We had seen the distinctive pyramid shape of Donegal’s highest peak from a distance. From closer as we drove past on a bank holiday Sunday it looked less tempting. Ver stony, almost like my memories of coal slag heaps of the 1950s and 60s.
However, we decided, since it was there, it should be climbed.
It was 3pm when we set off from the nearby car park and began the relentless upward trek.
Fewer people around on a Wednesday, but it’s a popular route with a very clear well marked path, complete with rocky steps -
hard work both up and down, but the views repaid the effort.
A very worthwhile afternoon out! We were down by about 6.15 - we hadn’t rushed this one!
