Achill, hiking Saddle Head

tcooley · 2018-02-05 16:22:13

Hi all, I have no intention of doing this but has anyone ever hiked to Saddle Head or Achill head? I have seen Saddle head from when I climbed Croaghaun but ti looked very steep to get out there. Achill head looks extremely dodgy. Just wondering if anyone has done it? Cheers.

I did Achill Head about ten years ago. Very exposed feeling in places going out, didn't even notice coming back!

Haven't done Saddle Head, weather was always against me, but a few friends have done it, i think.

I have been out to Achill head. It was on a nice day and was grand. I wouldn't want to chance it with a bit of a breeze though!
