Itinerary description

Show original
Climb to the Maumlack peaks (480 m), Cruachnasaggart (480 m), Dooish (651 m), Saggartnadooish (554 m) and its lower peak in the east (523 m)
Made my last day in Ireland alone (May 13, 2019). Day with a lot of wind but no rain. Good temperature.
Made without following any path and improvising on the fly, although I could have chosen some option on the way.
There is no difficulty except the terrain itself, grassy, very soft and oozing water in the few steps where it did not splash. By far, the worst of all. In the highest areas, comfortable walking stone.
The lack of time and that was up to the very same, I went straight down the road to make the return for this (about 5 km)
From what I saw, all the routes have the same soft and humid terrain ... maybe more in summer ...
Easy to get oriented and with excellent views of the Errigal and, at the end, of the Glenveagh National Park.
I leave it as easy, but like the others, it will depend on the terrain.
