Itinerary description
Nice trail starting from Hydro track car park, up to the first of the three lakes that are in the valley between the mountains.
It starts a bit steep, so great warmup to start the route :)
We found the place a bit boggy before and after the lake, but once the track starts to be rocky, then the problem is not that anymore.
We continued the route up to Caher, the third highest point of Ireland, with some extra care due to the rocks (still, not so bad, as most of them were big enough).
Once reached Caher (1001 m), we followed the ridge, going down to 900 m and then after 45 minutes we got to the summit of Carrantuohill (1038 m).
In total, it took us 3 hours and 25 minutes to get to the top, and 2 hours and 45 minutes to get to the car park.
