Irish Runner Magazine did a feature a few months ago about running trails around here. I drove up a few days ago to check it out and struggled to find the entrance.

I've marked on this map what looks to be the entrance but there appears to be some sort of semi permanent campsite there at the moment. Is it safe to park the the car there? can you drive in further and do so or are there other alternatives?

thanks

Travellers were moved on from Ferrycarrig bridge a couple of months ago and have now camped at forth mountain. Coincidentally filth and waste everywhere and burglaries up in the area. No sign of any attempt to move them on.
