EI\/IE-002, Mullaghcleevaun \u2013 849m, 10 points<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

From the car park there is a clear track South almost to the summit of Black Hill. Follow this and then continue up to the top of the hill.\u00a0 From the summit there is an obvious track leading South East over to Mullaghcleevaun itself.\u00a0 \"\"Follow this where possible although it is mostly over peat bog.\u00a0 The track disappears in places and you will need to resort to the compass unless it\u2019s a clear day and you can see the top.\u00a0 When I did this route in October 2019 the path was very wet and many times it was easier to parallel the path rather than trying to follow it.\u00a0 The summit of Mullaghcleevaun is a large flat top marked by a trig point and a number of large boulders looming out of the mist.\u00a0 I set up the station at the trig point and soon worked nine contacts including Dec in Dublin and also into Northern Ireland and Wales.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"The return back to the car is just a reversal of the route up although I did skirt around the summit of Black Hill, I don\u2019t think this really helped as the going was very rough, next time I think I will just go over the top again on the way back.<\/p>\n

EI\/IE-014, Sorrel Hill \u2013 599m, 6 points<\/h3>\n

\"\"Having done Mullaghcleevaun in the morning, Sorrel Hill is just the other side of the road so makes a nice easy finish for the day.\u00a0 It is an easy route up an obvious track and not as wet as Mullaghcleevaun.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There is a nice cairn on the top where I set up my station and soon had another eight contacts in the log.<\/p>\n
