    Because there are two mountains in Wicklow with names starting with Lug. One is big and one is small? (only guessing here :))

    Yes that makes sense thanks.

    Yep, big Lug (Lugnaquilla) is the highest point in Wicklow! (Leinster even?)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,487 ✭✭✭✭Alun


    Actually there's a third, Lugduff.

    Think it is the 13th highest of the Irish Munro's

    Yeah according to this there are 14 Irish Munros. The highest 12 are in Kerry (all except mt Brandon in the MacGillycuddy's), then Lug and finally Galtymore

    I've done Djouce from the Powerscourt side a couple of times. Today, I only realized that I was nearly at the summit about ten minutes from the top:) I have to say, I found it a lot easier from the Lough Tay side this time.

    Walked from Ballinastoe that day, I'll be driving up next time as it'll be with two friends that aren't into walking as much as the views. Haha

    Slieve Binnian...always worth the effort.
    A great photo! Did you go up from the easier east side or the (much) steeper one via Wee Binnian?

    I'm leading a group up that way tomorrow as it happens walking from the Silent Valley to Hare's Gap and down to Meelmore Lodge following the Mourne Wall route. Only 17km but a good 1300m of climb!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 312 ✭✭Gasherbraun


    Thanks Alun. This was taken a couple of years back and i followed the wall straight up from the Annalong Valley.

    From memory I think I went off Binnian down into the col and up onto Lamagan then back down and back to Little Carrick

    I love the Mournes and hope to be up there in the next couple of weeks.

    Enjoy your day tomorrow.....sounds like fun.

    Sorry to include the two pics in a reply but it's a good example of why you can't trust the mountains. Beautiful and sunny in one photo; cloud cover a short distance away.

    The sign is also pretty telling.

    The walk took just over four hours and for about an hour, It was covered in thick cloud and I couldn't see past 20 meters.

    Thank You. I just sat in among a small herd. Once I wasn't moving around they weren't bothered by me and actually came quite close. One or two were even quite curious.

    I'm usually out hiking with a group so they don't usually hang around. I have seen some quite big groups of stags of various ages in recent weeks hanging around a km or so up the Glenealo Valley beyond the footbridge. They seem to drop down into the valley there when the weather gets bad up on the tops.

    iPhone pano taken on Slieve Binnian. One of Ireland's most iconic mountain scenes.

    What other mountain scenes do people think of as iconic?

    If we are talking iconic mountain vistas I'd say El Capitan in Yosemite, the vista from aguille du midi, north face of the Ben are iconic in their own way.
