    Hi I live near bohernabreena reservoir and I've been spending alot of time during the pandemic walking around it and Im looking to go further a field. Does anybody know of a trail/route to access the Kilbride Range Via the reservoir. I see Corrig most days but can't find a way to walk up.

    There's a trail to Seahan from the NNE on openstreetmap. I haven't used it myself.
    That whole area has lots of bogholes and that side is particularly steep so you might have more fun getting up to the ridge from the stone cross or kippure sides. The range itself is army property and dangerous to enter.

    You could hike a bike up to the mast, there are two tracks up to it.

    Follow the Dodder Action group on Facebook, they do a source to sea walk around May/June every year. Starts up in Kippure. You don't have to do the whole lot and you'll find some very knowledgeable hikers in the group who can tell you all the good trails along the Kippure to Ballinascorney/Bohernabreena section.

    The Dublin Mountains Partnership did guided hikes including on from the Reservoir car park up to Corrig, Seehan etc. There is a trail but you have to pass through a farmyard. The word is the farmer is (or was) happy to have respectful and friendly people passing through to access the trail. If you follow the DMP group on facebook you might find an old image of the route on their photos page.
