Overview

B+ Hike/Hill Climb to a stunning 360o view around the Arrachor Alps from the Trig point -Weather Permiting.

We will be using the same route for both up and down, taking a steady pace allowing time to stop and take in the views(and catch a breath !)-with the Highest point of 897m.

Route will be potentially boggy and is steep in some places, but should be straightforward enough for those with hillwalking/rambling experience. 

The walk includes a small/short Rocky scramble to add a bit of excitement on the day-Shown in one of the posted photos.

We are starting from just beyond the "Rest And be Thankful" Car Park-just off the B828 Road.
